In his Autobiography and Selected Writings we see Lincoln as loving father, skillful lawyer, composer of doggerel, and stern commander-in-chief. We see his one attempt at dramatic criticism seized upon by his enemies and we see also his great talents as peacemaker and reconciler. This book offers the reader the intimate company of one of the world's greatest heroes. Part of the Public Library Series designed for the traveler, the commuter, readers who prefer their books to be portable yet substantial, easily affordable and handsomely packaged. Here, too, is the perfect choice for that spur-of-the-moment hostess gift, stocking stuffer, bar mitzvah or Easter basket. Each volume is only slightly larger than a deck of playing cards, costs only $4.95 but in 192 pages provides a complete work of substance and quality that will fit easily into a purse or the pockets of a business suit.
