The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln - First and Second Supplements

However, as there are two supplemental volumes, one published in the early 70s and the other in 1990, I was eager to find those, too. It seems that they're very rare.

Just a couple of weeks later, I succeeded in purchasing, for only about $12 plus postage, the first supplement. Unfortunately, the book got lost in the mail en route!!! I got a refund, but I would have preferred the book! Now that I'm looking for the first supplement again, the few that are available are going for well over $100. The situation is at least as bad with the second supplement.

Anyone have any tips on where to get the two supplements for not-too-much money?

Liz,

I bought the first supplement several years ago and paid about $50 or so for it. I have never been able to find a copy of the second supplement that I would be willing to pay for. My only suggestion is to keep looking on the secondary market and hope you stumble across one for a decent price. Good luck!
