If you purchased the paperback edition of the book you will see references to Lincoln as gay.

This was NOT authorized by Dr C A Tripp the author of this book. It does not appear in the original hard bound edition. The publisher of the paperback along with the former part time copy editor did this. As the executor and successor executor of Dr Tripp's estate we knew the wishes of the author who was a Lincoln scholar.

He insisted that the book as he wrote it was to stand on its own and not include promotion information that tilted the book as a gay tool. Dr. Tripp was not a gay activist as he has been portrayed in the paperback but a serious clinical psychologist.

We do not associate ourselves with the actions of the copy editor and paperback publisher.
