It is also the first to be sold in the White House Gift Shop, Washington, D.C., and become a Palm Beach best seller in its first week of distribution. The Mar-a-Lago (Ocean-to-Lake) book is available online at Amazon.com

The reader is invited to take a tour room-by-room through 245 glossy pages of past and present photos and historical editorial. A journey through time, from the early 1920s under the ownership of the legendary Mrs. Marjorie Merriweather Post, through 1985 with its then-new owner, Mr. Donald J. Trump, who restored and expanded the intriguing property into a private club (1995) ... and beyond.

Historically, Mar-a-Lago has hosted royalty, statesmen and international political leaders. President Donald J. Trump, continues this tradition at this world-class club. A property described aptly within the thousands of mosaic tiles placed during Mrs. Post's ownership bearing the words, "Plus Ultra," Spanish for  "Beyond the Ultimate."

Author, Olympia Devine attributes the inspiration of this book not only to her time spent at Mar-a-Lago, but especially to her son, the late Troy Alexander Devine (1980-2013), with whom she began their third book, Palm Beach: a Community Tribute. She completed and published his work in 2015.  It quickly became a Palm Beach best seller. “My late son's legacy and his wish for the continuation of his creative work has given rise to so much more that needs to be told — about a special town and its amazing historical figures, both past and present."  

The Mar-a-Lago (Ocean-to-Lake) book is available at the following Palm Beach store locations: Classic Bookshop, the Flagler Museum Gift Shop and the Members Only Mar-A-Lago Club.
