The sharp eyes were out in abundance spotting last edition’s Mystery Photo. First in was Ruthy Paul of Norcross, who wrote: “The newly erected tower of books about Abraham Lincoln, one of America’s most influential presidents, is in the lobby of Ford’s Theatre Center for Education and Leadership  in the nation’s capital. The cylindrical structure stands three stories high and about 6,800 books representing over 15,000 titles about the 16th president. The innumerable volumes of works present in this towering pillar symbolize the never-ending discussion about the famed American president.” The photo came from Chuck Warbington of Dacula.

All the books in the tack are about Lincoln!” Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill added: “This super duper book tower is in the house where they took Lincoln after he was shot and is where he died.”

Others getting the Mystery Photo correct included Bob Foreman, Grayson; Howard Williams, Snellville; and Dick Goodman, Suwanee.
