Actually, Rob, the Museum ois always a good choice since they change things in the artifact exhibits, abd usually deature something new in another part of the museum. I am VERY excited about your Sandburg reseach. I met him in 1962 and, at that time, wrote a personal piece abot that experience. My first personal purchase of a Lincoln item was his one-volume edition of his master work--it cost me $6.00 in 1954 and I had to save up for weeks to get it!! I still own it. Your bio will be, I believe, the first one since Harry Golden's in the 1960s--a copy I have that is signed by both Golden and Sandburg. Have you been either to Connemara at Flat Rock, NC or to Galesburg yet? Great experiences!
