Books like Lincoln: An Illustrated Biography

Until I was in my late 20's, I did not know my second oldest brother very well. About that time, however, circumstances in life brought us together and we found that we shared a deep and abiding love of books. He moved to Denver in 1992 from Los Angeles and every time I was there visiting we would go to The Tattered Cover together, a wonderful multi-story bookstore in Denver. We would spend ours there together, but separately and bump into each other from time to time as our browsing paths crossed. One year he bought this book for me because he saw that I loved it and knew I could not afford to buy it myself. It is a wonderful photographic book about President Lincoln, which I always have out on a table. The book reminds me not only of a great president who I admire, but also of a special bond I have with my brother. All the more special because we discovered it later in our lives and it formed the basis of a true friendship between us.
