Thinking out loud:

Lincoln born Feb 12, 1809. If you've noticed a lot of Lincoln chatter in the system, that's why-- creeping up on the bicentennial. That, and...

The presidential elections to be held November '08.

If the Lincoln book happens, it needs to be out in October '08, wrapped, lettered, and sent out for review by August '08.

So already that's less than two years from right now to have the thing put to bed.

Just felt like saying it out loud.
