Another sure sell: If there is a dog on the cover or if the subject matter is about dogs or a dog.

How about a book about Lincoln's dog Fido?

If you prefer something not quite so long, or expensive, I'd suggest Benjamin P. Thomas' Abraham Lincoln. Originally published in 1952, this beautifully written bio has been reissued in paperback (with a forward by that other guy).

My librarian friend says that she is fed up with the surfeit of Lincoln books and vampire books right now. She has toyed with the idea of writing a sure-fire bestseller for this year's market: The Vampire Lincoln.

No vampires in it, but if one relishes the worst characterizations of A. Lincoln, try The Unpopular Mr. Lincoln - The Story of America's Most Reviled President, by Larry Tagg.

It might fortify the most venomous of Lincoln haters, as they might pick pieces from it to substanciate their denigrations, without understanding that it is not an anti-Lincoln book.

No doubt, Abe was attacked by several factions in the North, and just about every faction in the South.

Finally, to me, it serves as a tribute to the man who rose above all that to make possible that "its form of government is saved to the world; its beloved history, and cherished memories, are vindicated; and its happy future fully assured, and rendered inconceivably grand."

He did do that.
