36 Oak Knoll Press—Bibliography MR. LINCOLN’S BOOK Publishing the Lincoln- Douglas Debates With a Census of Signed Copies by David H. Leroy Here, for the first time in a detailed account focusing on Lincoln’s personal involvement, Dave Leroy writes the full story of the Lincoln-Douglas debates with original correspondence, contemporary newspaper accounts, and illustrations of the day. In 1954, historian Harry Pratt located and described eighteen inscribed copies of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. In this new work, Leroy describes 37 such volumes. Ultimately, Mr. Lincoln’s Book asks the reader to resolve the century and a half old debate: was Lincoln an author? Leroy leaves the final decision up to the reader. The printed volume is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing a complete copy of Lincoln’s scrapbook of the debates, copies and transcriptions of Lincoln’s correspondence, political cartoons, and photographs. 2009, hardcover, dust jacket, 6 x 9 inches, 228 pages ISBN 9781584562443, Order No. 99275, $49.95 Co-published with the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop A CATALOGUE OF THE JUNIUS SPENCER MORGAN COLLECTION OF VIRGIL IN THE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY by Craig Kallendorf The collection that this book is based on consists of over 700 titles of editions of the Roman poet Virgil, with items ranging from the first printed edition (Rome, 1469) to the present, focusing on material published in the early modern period. This collection was formed by Junius Spencer Morgan, the nephew of the financier J.P. Morgan. Morgan’s interest in Virgil was undoubtedly encouraged during his student days at Princeton and reflects his efforts to obtain the best copies he could find of items noteworthy for their scholarship, their illustrations, or their place in publishing history. The result is one of the largest collections of early printed editions of Virgil in the world, a collection whose balance and integrity make it the proper beginning place for research in this field. 2009, hardcover, dust jacket, 8.5 x 11 inches, 544 pages ISBN 9781584562634, Order No. 100481, $95.00 GORE VIDAL A Bibliography, 1940–2009 by Steven Abbott This bibliography documents all phases of Vidal’s ongoing work, focusing on Vidal from 1940 through June 2009.
