Nicolay and Hay Extended Biography

[Rob Wick]

Even though this article is three years old, I just stumbled onto it today. I was not aware of this edition, plus even Gene couldn't get away with spending $40K on this. I have long wanted to get my hands on the ten-volume set published at the turn of the century, but they are wildly expensive, so I have to make do with downloading it from Archive.org.

It appears that Prairie Archives still has it in stock, for those last minute seekers of Lincoln-related gifts. I love how the shipping is only $3.99. Gene, you kick in half and I will kick in half, and then when we tell Joy and Cheryl what we've done, we can take turns sleeping in each other's cars. However, I get to keep the set with me.

Very interesting!

Of course, it probably would have sold by now if they would have just ponied up for free shipping.

Rob, have I got good news for you.
I found a much less expensive and newer copy, for only $27.99 for the paperback per volume (10 volumes) or about $44.99 for the hardback per volume.
And its not the old outdated copy from 1890. This one was printed in 2009.
Unfortunately their is a charge for shipping. But order now, and they can have it delivered to your door in time for Christmas.
Wish I could be there to see Cheryl's look of surprise.
