<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 285382, member: 33"]The full title is <i>Recollections of Abraham Lincoln, 1847-1865</i>. A digital version of this edition is available online for free through big sites such as HathiTrust, Archive.org, and Google Books. It is the second edition of the book. The second edition was used for a later reprinting by University of Nebraska Press, and perhaps by others.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the text of the book is readily available, and it is not a first edition. Both of those facts lead me to think it does not have a lot of value. Rarity does not always mean something is valuable. However, looks like it is in good condition, and I think there will be a buyer for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and I just went back to your original post and noticed that you said you bought it at your local library's store. If it has library markings at all, that is another indication of little value. (I know library stores sometimes sell books that have never been in a library, though.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
