Title: An abridged version of this excellent biography would be perfect for me at my level of interest
Product review: I read James McPherson"s 65 page "Lincoln" in one reading session. For me it was a page-turner but as a result Lincoln flashed by so quickly. This book is a page-turner in many places but certainly not from cover to cover. Quite a few less consequential parts of Lincoln's life story could be edited out by a skilled editor in such a way that nothing essential would be lost. A slightly shorter life story would be more interesting. The editing, for example, could start with some of the more obscure legal cases that Lincoln worked on back in Illinois.
