What's the one Lincoln book you want but can't justify getting?

[Rob Wick]

With Christmas just around the corner, what book on Lincoln would you love to see under your tree, but you just can't justify the cost?

Technically, mine isn't a book on Lincoln per se, but it is written by Tarbell. I would love to have a first edition of her History of the Standard Oil Company. The internet is lousy with reprints, but a first edition two-volume set is about as rare as hen's teeth


If I had to keep it on Lincoln I would love to have the first rendition of Herndon's biography.

Probably the hardcover version of The Lincoln Assassination: The Evidence edited by William C. Edwards and Ed Steers.

It pays for itself in usefulness!

I can't think of one offhand, though I'm sure there's something long out of print that would be nice under the tree.

I paid $10 for the Google Books version of the The Evidence, but Google wouldn't let me download a copy to my computer.
