Other than as a souvenir from one’s visit to the Lincoln Memorial, I’m not really sure what the purpose or target audience of this book is. It’s got a lovely, sturdy binding, and it’s even got good solid information presented in simple-enough language for young readers.  I just don’t think it has enough information to warrant the cost of a book all of it’s own.  The same information could be offered within a book more broadly about Lincoln, or about Washington D.C.  I can’t recommend spending this much money for a book with such a narrow niche.
