Your best best is to check out http://www.abebooks.com and enter the title and “Gettysburg” in the search box. there are a few different versions up there that might give you an idea of your set’s value.

Thanks!

Patrick

For future bibliographers tracking the history of Lincoln printings, it is important that the owners of the set you mentioned contact the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum so that a good description of that specific set can be put in the records of Lincoln printings.

The yearly ABPC volume probably has details, and there may be more sales since 1995 recorded in the ABPC.

“Log Cabin Ed., one of 8-extra-illus. 12 vols in 24.
Extra-illus with ports, views & autograph material,
including Lincoln ANs. $13,000.”

I own a set of the “original” 1894 edition of “The Complete Works Of Abraham Lincoln” by Nicolay and Hay. That’s scarce enough in its own right, but this set you’ve acquired is amazing!

I’m happy to know it’s in good hands.

Sincerely,

Geoff Elliott
