Lincoln's Devotional

Hardback book with dust jacket. Approximately 4.5 x 7 sized book. Maufactured in the USA. Channel Press, Inc., Great Neck, New York, 1957. The spine is tight, the pages are clean and without markings or tears. Light tanning of pages due to age, but no damage. Blue/Black boards with gold lettering. Appears to be a signature of Lincoln on the inside front page, but it is a facsimile as explained here - - "Lincoln's Devotional contains a facsimile of Lincoln's signature on the flyleaf, as he wrote it in his own copy." Introduction is by Carol Sandburg. "In his moving introduction to this faithful edition of the 100 year old book of daily Scriptural messages and inspirational verse. Carl Sandburg knits together fact and conjecture about Lincoln's religious feelings. We are able to picture Abraham Lincoln carrying this little volume with him as he traveled the old Eighth Circuit; we learn of his familiarity with verses he could encounter in its pages." An excellent book! B001CBWQ5S ASIN#. The cover is dingy looking due to age and wear over the years. The jacket is NOT torn, just rubbed and worn, but still in very good condition. You will not be disappointed with this book. "The statue of Abraham Lincoln pictured on the jacket of this book is the work of the late Herbert Spencer Houck, and may be seen in the Washington Cathedral in Washington, D. C." A very good book for a very good price!
