I really enjoyed this book. It flew by and contained a multitude of great Lincoln stories, many of which I had not heard before. Weik is a very good writer, and he can make Lincoln come alive at times. Terrific book that belongs on every Lincoln collector's bookshelf (and should be read by every collector). At first, I rated this at 4 1/2 stars, but I found that I couldn't explain why I wanted to give it a deduction. So, I uprated it to 5 stars... which it really is. ( )
