Seems like a good price - $24 New - for this big reference book.

Thanks, Gene - is this the same as this in print, or would it contain even more?

Nice web site Eva.....I didn't know about it.
I don't know if they are the same, I don't have the 'Day by Day' book, and even though the price seems good, at the moment, I have more books than places to put them. Wouldn't mind having it though. I am going to pass on purchasing it, a decision I may come to regret this time next year.

I do not know if everything is identical, but I checked today's date (April 29) for 1832 and 1833, and the wording was identical in both sources.

Joe Di Cola sent me an email saying this is a "MUST HAVE" book.
I have purchased a few books based only on his recommendation, and he hasn't steered me wrong.

Glad that it appears to be online. - Thanks again Eva & Joe.

Not that I need any more books or have any more room as well--- but based on your "must-have" recommendations- I just bought it for $24.00 at Amazon. Sounds like I will not be disappointed.

I am officially out of room for books. I don't know if I can pass this one up though.

IMO it is worth the money, Mary. You will like it.

We sell it in the Surratt gift shop for $35, but there is additional postage above our regular rate because of the weight of this tome.

When I was able to go to Lincoln Group of D.C. meetings, we opened each meeting with a selected reading from this book as to what happened on that specific date that we were meeting.

Wow! I paid $50 for it new back around 1990.
Well worth it though!

I recently was in contact with Daniel Stowell who is the editor for the papersofabrahamlincoln project that runs the website thelincolnlog. According to him, it is based on "Day by Day" but new information is added as it becomes known and they also regularly update citations there.

I got the book today. I must say it seems very well worth the price. I look forward to looking up what Lincoln did on any given day during his life. More to follow...

I have a big birthday coming up next month, so I decided to treat myself to this book. I bought a new copy for $25, and it arrived shrink-wrapped today.

I just found this book. I purchased and placed it in storage not too long after. I now have a basement full of boxes waiting to be unpacked. But I opened up a box at random and found it contained the book. Made my day.
