http://www.opinionjournal.com/taste/?id=110005389... Most of what you find in the Archives Shop is what you would expect in a kitschy modern museum store. Reproductions of Confederate currency are on sale next to Lewis and Clark action figures (the set includes a bonus figure--Sacagawea!) and snow globes with a picture of Nixon greeting Elvis. There are T-shirts and posters and, of course, books.
Lots and lots of books, from "The Story of the Civil War Coloring Book" to Michael Beschloss's "The Conquerors," John Keegan's "Intelligence War" and solid biographies of Jefferson, Lincoln and LBJ.
And then there are the books on George W. Bush.
At the National Archives, although you can find not one neutral or admiring book on the current president...
