I have plenty of Lincoln books, but one stands out: George McGovern’s brief biography from Time’s American Presidents series of 2008. It’s autographed.
I am sure he would have been happy to sign your Kindle.
I’ve seen many claims that such and such a topic is the most written about.
But 15,000 has to be the record.
