The book "Wellington Webb: The Man, the Mayor, and the Making of Modern Denver" owned by Wellington Webb. The book is approximately 400 pages and brand new.

The title appears over the picture and above it, at the top of the book is a quote from President Bill Clinton. The back of the book features two quotes, one from Tavis Smiley and the other from Tom Cochran above a black and white photo of Webb walking down the street during a rally, shaking hands with a man. On the inside of the front cover, Webb has written a short message to the museum and signed his name.
