Jimmy Carter, 39th president of the United States, was a bestselling author in a wide range of genres. His stories drew from his own experience, the lives of his loved ones and the causes he fought for his whole life.

For many years, the 39th president generated little attention from authors. But recently books have sought to re-evaluate his reputation. Here is a look at the expanding Carter library.

The LBJ Presidential Library in Austin has opened a condolence book to honor the late President Jimmy Carter. The public is invited to sign the book and share memories or messages of support for the Carter family.
