The 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's death is coming up next month on April 15. Honest Abe was the 16th president of the United States—leading the country through the Civil War, preserving the Union, and abolishing slavery—until his assassination by John Wilkes Booth in 1865. We've published some excellent titles about this great president over the years, including (but certainly not limited to) James L. Swanson's Manhunt, Harold Holzer’s Lincoln: How Abraham Lincoln Ended Slavery in America, Fred Kaplan’s Lincoln: The Biography of a Writer, Edward Steers’ The Lincoln Assassination Encyclopedia, Rich Lowry’s Lincoln Unbound, and Daniel Mark Epstein’s Lincoln's Men.
These titles would make great additions to any Lincoln displays in libraries next month, and in order to spread the love, the first 15 people to send an email to librarylovefest@harpercollins.com mentioning this giveaway will receive a complimentary copy of Manhunt! And if you like, feel free to send us a picture of your display, and we'll post it here on LLF!
