I have a book titled "Lincoln the Unknown" by Dale Carnegie. Is anyone familiar with this one? What did you think?

My father bought this for me in 1953 or 54 when he took me to Springfield, New Salem, etc. for the first time. It was a "Pocketbook" paperback (remember those) and cost a whopping 25 cents! The paperback was entitled THE UNKNOWN LINCOLN. I thought it was ok; it presented mostly little vignettes from Lincoln's life--much like Lloyd Lewis did in one of his works. More importantly, it prodded me onwards to reading Sandburg and Thomas, and into a lifetime spent with Lincoln! Do you have the 1932 first edition?
