A copy of Where We Lived: Discovering The Places We Once Called Home: The American Home from 1775 to 1840 by Jack Larkin. Presented with a National Trust tote bag.

"In his new book, Larkin revisits the architecture of America from 1775 to 1840 and finds the values and dreams of the young republic recorded in wood and stone. Illustrated with amazing photographs from the Library of Congress Historic American Building Survey, the book opens a window on a time before indoor plumbing and electricity, discovering that the good old days, in some ways, were pretty good after all, despite physical hardships." --Kevin Markey, from USA Weekend.
