From book to bid

A spate of announcements from 2020 presidential hopefuls had us noticing that many of the candidates have also written books. We found ourselves wondering where this trend started—John McCain and Barack Obama both penned books before their 2008 runs, but were they the first? A New York Times article about this very phenomenon points to JFK's Profiles in Courage as the first. And, as you can see here, it was far from the last!
