Gerald Ford
"Finally, this collection contains two series of books from Gerald Ford's library in his offices and residences in Rancho Mirage, California and Vail Colorado. The criteria for choosing these books are unknown. Most have been signed/inscribed by the author, contributor, subject of the book, or by the person who gave the book to Ford. Many of the books include Gerald Ford's personal bookplates or he annotated that it was his “personal copy."
The books themselves are listed on that page, so this might be easy:
