How do you capture a magical time in your life? This book of photographs and descriptions are evidence of Jimmy Carter's hometown and campaign for President of our USA. Buccellato's book gives a true feeling of Plains, then and now. People can experience the small town life and "down to earth" people who brought forth a awesome welcome to visitors then , now and forever.

When I picked up Robert Buccellato's gloriously illustrated new book, Jimmy Carter in Plains: The Presidential Hometown, I fell in love with the town all over again....Get yourself a copy of Robert Buccellato's book. It is a moving map to the heart of the town that made Jimmy Carter. It is also a map to a place that will win your heart for good, and for the goodness that is Jimmy Carter's Plains.
-Grant Hayter-Menzies Author of "Lillian Carter : A Compassionate Life"
Visual representations of politics in America are too often ephemeral, taking the form of campaign literature that quickly vanishes, or news reports that do not last beyond the headlines. Robert Buccellato, in what obviously was a labor of love, has produced something different.
His presentation in pictures of the political life of President Carter before and during his presidency should be welcomed by general readers who are interested in American presidents.
- Max J. Skidmore Author of "After the White House: Former Presidents as Private Citizens"
"This marvelous little book shines light on the truly populist campaign that landed Jimmy Carter in the White House. You can actually SEE the authentic and regular-guy style of Jimmy Carter at work. The images of Carter's small-town background are especially compelling. Political and historical junkies will find this book a great piece of entertainment that doesn't discount the moral and visionary heft that Jimmy Carter brought to Washington, D.C."
-Kevin Mattson, Author of "What the heck are you up to Mr President."
