These volumes show McCullough not simply at work, but fully engaged with his sources Ð underlining passages he would later utilize in the final published version, offering reactions ("good quote, " "wonderful, " "oh my!"), comments ("FDR had poker parties, " "confirms what Anna R. said") and criticisms ("not so, " "when did he say this?") in the margins. Several volumes offer more extensive notes on the endpapers ("in his description of Lincoln he stresses his own qualities Ð p. 11-12"), with at least oneproviding a draft paragraph which would appear slightly revised in the published edition. An intimate look at arguably our finest and most well-respected historian in the midst of preparing what has become the standard work on our thirty-third president. Quantity available: 1.
