I hope you don't mind that I've bumped this thread. I had a bit of a technical issue posting it originally, and it only has 1 view in 2 weeks which is not my usual experience. You all are very good about looking to see what Library Lady's Book Wagon has on offer. I don't know if there is a technical issue with the thread or if one of our members was right in asking, "Do we really need more Lincoln?"

I don't know how I missed this post until today, very odd. Dark forces are at hand . Anyway, I'd love the Meacham and the Lloyd Lewis if still available. Thank you.

And There Was Light and The Assassination of Lincoln: History and Myth have been sold.

If anyone comes by later and wishes they could have gotten to The Assassination of Lincoln first, I do have the 1941 Readers Club edition that was printed under the original title of Myths after Lincoln by permission of Harcourt, Brace and Company. There are 367 pages including sources and index. This book is hardcover, but without a dust jacket. The binding is solid. The text is clean. It is not ex-library. There is some yellowing commensurate with age, but not the deeper tan color from war paper. The corners are bumped and there is slight fraying of the cloth at the top of the spine. Price is $7.00.

We can never have enough Lincoln! I barely know anything about the guy, even after all this Civil War stuff. Looking forward to the books.

I did not see this before. Have to pass right now. To many stacked yet to be read.

That's half the fun. Get too high of a stack & you get decision paralysis. Then you never have to read any of them

I totally understand, @JOHN42768 . I appreciate you being a frequent patron of Library Lady's Book Wagon and look forward to seeing you back once the "read me" pile has thinned out.

By the way, the treasurer of the Salt Creek Civil War Round Table has noticed that you are a frequent contributor and it is much appreciated.

Abraham Lincoln: Redeemer President by Allen C. Guelzo has been sold.

For some reason, I can't edit the original sale list post to indicate it there as well.
