Words from the White House: words and phrases coined or popularized by America's presidents by Paul Dickson 197 pgs.
This is a very fun book with some unexpected information like the fact that "hustling" is a word first used in a 1760 diary entry of John Adams. Normalcy is credited to Warren G. Harding's 1920 campaign Gag rule is a term created by John Quincy Adams in 1840.
The entries are short and informative. If you a history buff, like the presidents or a "wordy" this book could be great for you.
