The Intimate world of Abraham Lincoln Book by C.A. Tripp with an introduction by Jean Baker and a new critical overview.

Start with the book's basic bibliographic information at the top:

Author. Title. Place of Publication, Publisher, Year. Number of pages.

After briefly introducing the author (in a sentence or two—what is his writing/scholarly background? What else has he written?) and the book (no more than a paragraph or two), state what the author is arguing and how he builds his case.

Your review should address the following questions:

--What is the intended audience (high schools, scholars, civil war buffs, general, etc.)?

--What type of evidence does the author use? What are his sources?

--Are his sources valid? Should he have used more or different sources?

--How is the book organized? (Chronologically? Topically?)

--What could he have done differently to improve the book?

--Are there any questions left unanswered after reading this book?

--Where does this book fit into the wide range of books on Lincoln?

Conclude by offering some general remarks on the book, including: would you recommend it—why or why not?
