Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"LINCOLN AT HOME is little more than a magazine article with an appendix. The small helping of meat at its center is the text of a speech that Donald gave at the White House in 1990, while George Bush pere was president. At that point, publication of Donald's biography of Lincoln was still half a decade away; as he acknowledges in his introduction to this volume, his visit to the White House helped advance his research, though it should be pointed out that if you've read Donald's LINCOLN you will have precious little reason to read LINCOLN AT HOME, which retraces familiar ground involving the combination of affection and tensions between Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, their unbearable grief at the sudden death of their son Willie, and Lincoln's 'patience' and 'humanity.' The rest of the book consists of letters and telegrams that various Lincolns sent each other; they are mostly perfunctory and unrevealing, though Lincoln scholars may find it useful to have them assembled in one place."
