It is written by Surratt Society member Ernie Abel. We just rec'd a shipment yesterday, and I will announce the details shortly, including information as to how to purchase a copy after our conference on the weekend of April 6-8. Ernie will be signing at the Authors' Hour of the conference.

Another book that might interest some is Avenging Lincoln's Death by Professor Thomas J. Reed. It is another analysis of the 1865 Conspiracy Trial, but with some interesting twists and opinions. This one is selling in hard cover on Amazon for $79, but Surratt House waited until it came out in paperback in order to be able to offer it for $35 -- still a bit high (one of those university presses...). Reed will be speaking at the conference also and signing during the Authors' Hour

E. Lawrence Abel's new book is entitled John Wilkes Booth and the Women Who Loved Him. It will be available on Amazon after April 9, but you can pre-order now for $27.20. I'll announce the Surratt House price this week, and I hope we can come close to competing with Amazon -- we need the money more than they do!
