Roscoe's Web remains one of my favorites - flaws and all. Still, it IS a fast-moving good read. Yes, there is a lot of speculation contained therein, but I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the assassination. It's considered one of the "classics" alongside Bishop's novel The Day Lincoln was Shot and Oldroyd - irregardless what one thinks of the author's theories....

Betty, I just recently purchased a copy of Oldroyd’s The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The fun part about it, was that it was completely by accident. Even better was the name of the store I found it in. I was in Chicago and came across a storefront called Powell’s Bookstores. Powell's, has been in business for the over 40 years. There are three stores, in Hyde Park, University Village and Lakeview, each carrying quality used, rare, and discounted books. They also partner with Abebooks.com so if you cannot find something in the store they check for worldwide sellers. For anyone wanting to sell used or even new books I believe you can sell through Abebooks kind of like eBay I guess.

Mike, I'm very familiar with Powell's Bookstore (good name!) I've bought several books through them.

Oldroyd (looks like you've got the very same edition that I have!) is a good read and is a classic in itself. I love it because it details one of the very first Booth Escape Route Tours.... Glad you got it!
