Chris Butzer

Many publishers are creating books in honor of the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, but there is nothing like Chris Butzer's The Gettysburg Graphic. HarperCollins previewed tantalizing images from this forthcoming book and I was immediately captivated. The speech balloons are actual quotes from documented sources and the images bring the story to life. I predict that The Gettysburg Graphic will be THE Lincoln book that everyone will be reading and talking about in 2009. I am thrilled that we will be among the first to group of librarians to get a look at this incredible work!
