Author: ZALL, Paul M. (editor)
Title: Lincoln on Lincoln
Description: Lexington, The University Press of Kentucky, 1999. Hardcover. 8vo. Grey cloth, pictorial dust jacket. xiii, 198pp. Fine/near fine. A tight and handsome first edition of this compilation of Lincoln's writings about himself -- with one unique twist: Tipped to front flyleaf is the custom Lincoln-theme Bernhardt Wall-designed bookplate of RALPH G. NEWMAN (1911-98), founder of Chicago's well-known Abraham Lincoln Book Shop, who in 1975 compiled an earlier version of this type of title, "Abraham Lincoln: His Story in His Own Words." Newman's bookplate is a superb example of the engraver's art. .
