Nicolay and Hay Extended Biography
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. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg

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

RE: Nicolay and Hay Extended Biography
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 And its not the old outdated copy from 1890.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. http://www.booksamillion.com/search?id=6...here=Books So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
