SANDBURG, Carl. Abraham Lincoln: The War Years. Harcourt, Brace & Company, New York, 1939.
Price: US$950.00 + shipping
Description: Complete 4-volume set. Small 4to. Dark blue cloth with gilt spine lettering, slipcase. xxxi, 660pp; xii, 655pp; xiii, 673pp; xii, 515pp. Frontispieces, illustrations. Near fine/very good. Mildest of slipcase wear. Absolutely exceptional -- tight and pristine -- first trade edition (after the deluxe signed edition) of this mammoth set, signed large and bold by Sandburg on the half-title page of the first volume -- beneath which is neatly tipped an original, likely one-of-a-kind black-and-white 5½" X 4" snapshot of Sandburg, an informal closeup of him speaking in suit and bow tie. This photograph was almost certainly taken at a special 75th birthday black-tie celebration held for the poet in Chicago's Blackstone Hotel on January 6, 1953 -- and laid into this copy is the scarce "Carl Sandburg 75th Birthday Dinner" 4pp leaflet with its celebrity-studded "Speaker's Table" list that includes such historians as Allan Nevins, Benjamin P. Thomas, Paul M. Angle, Sandburg's brother-in law photographer Edward Steichen, Chicago journalist Fanny Butcher and many others. An exceptional set.
