The Austin American Statesman newspaper issued this book shortly after the restoration of the Capitol in 1995. Part of the proceeds from the sale went to the restoration fund. A news article appeared in the Austin American Statesman newspaper on April 20, 1995 notifying the public that these “special limited editions, leather bound and signed by Gov. George Bush and his five predecessors.” were available. The books sold out quickly and are now quite rare and sought after since Bush was elected as U. S. President.
