2004 Common Reader/Tess Press hardcover, 2nd printing. Merle Miller (Ike the Soldier). Plain Speaking is the bestselling book based on conversations between Merle Miller and the thirty-third President of the United States, Harry S. Truman. From these interviews, as well as others who knew him over the years, Miller transcribes Truman’s feisty takes on everything from his personal life, military service, and political career to the challenges he faced in taking the office during the final days of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. Using a series of taped discussions from 1962 that never aired on television, Plain Speaking takes an opportunity to deliver exactly how Mr. Truman felt about the presidency, and his thoughts in his later years on his accomplishments and the legacy he left behind. - Amazon

About Wildwood Books
Wildwood Books is not your average bookstore. We’re a local hub for readers, collectors, and anyone who gets a kick out of discovering something new or long-forgotten on a crowded shelf.
What you see here is exactly what you get: honest-to-goodness stacks, a living collection. Our shelves are lined with everything from American history, classics, and biographies, to cookbooks, crime fiction, textbooks, and deep cuts you won’t find at the chains. We’ve got rare finds, fresh bestsellers, and those odd gems you only notice when you slow down and actually look.
We buy, sell, and trade both new and used books. Our stock is sourced from local libraries, estate sales, and fellow readers all over town. What matters most to us is the story each book brings—not just what’s inside, but who picked it up, passed it on, or made space for it on their own shelves.
Wildwood Books is a space for real book people—teachers, students, nurses, collectors, history buffs, and everyday readers. If you see a title here, it’s because it matters to someone, not just because it’s a hot new release.
Come visit us in person, browse the shelves, and take home your next story—or shop online, where we ship our books nationwide and worldwide. Whether you’re after a classic American Revolution history, a modern thriller, or something you’ve never even heard of, you’ll find your place here.
