Hats off to Lincoln

Hats off to Lincoln

As if you didn't have enough to worry about, Lincoln's 200th birthday is right around the corner (Feb. 12, to be exact). That adds yet another item to your brain's already overcrowded Futile Anxieties Compartment (currently starring the foundering economy, Middle East violence and dubious peanut butter): How do I adequately express my near-obsessive devotion to the legacy of America's 16th president?Luckily, there are a lot of people just like you (i.e., people who have a borderline unhealthy interest in all things Lincoln). This means you aren't alone, a fact that should provide comfort in your darkest hours, like the time your evil older cousin tricked you into attending that Andrew Johnson convention. Even more luckily, many of your fellow Lincoln enthusiasts appear to have high-level connections in the publishing world; bookstores and libraries overfloweth with reading options.
