What are your top five Lincoln books?

[RJNorton]

I think I will skirt this question by recommending Mike Burkhimer's book titled "100 Essential Lincoln Books." It's amazing that the book is now nearly 10 years old as it seems like just yesterday when Mike came out with it. Mike is a teacher and also the Review Editor for the Lincoln Herald. I think the book is great for folks who don't have the time or desire to read every single book out there. It has 2-3 page "capsules" of what Mike feels are the best 100 books on Lincoln. The books that came out after 2003 are not included.
