RE: Lincoln concise biographies
Not sure it would be considered "concise" but the best single-volume biography of Lincoln remains Benjamin Thomas's book Abraham Lincoln. For readability, the single-volume biography by Sandburg still ranks high.

For current books, George McGovern lent his name to the biography of Lincoln for the American President's series, which was edited by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. I say lent his name because he didn't write it.
