We had this book! It was a free gift when we bought something from Best. I think we bought a coffeemaker, but being like, 8 at the time, I don’t remember.

Unfortunately, he didn’t make it to 100. He died at 90.

Making fun of dead people for not being like us! What a charming idea! Hey, how about that Abraham Lincoln guy! Stovepipe hat! Chopped down trees, didn’t even use a chain saw! And you should have seen him try to dance! We must be the coolest generation ever!

I still miss this wonderful fella.

I agree: if those pages weren’t missing, you could relocate the book to the 800s.

Having been a public library page in the 1980’s it’s fascinating how many of these books I actually recognize from when they were legitimate circulating members of the collection! Good Times!

A worldcat link on these entries would give a sense of just how much weeding is prudent …. presumably you want to have at least a couple of copies within the system

Incidentally, you can get a sense of its subject distribution at
