About the Author
Mel Rabinowitz is a New Yorker, born, raised and educated. He and his wife, Joyce, have an apartment in Manhattan, and have been teaching in the New York City public school system for over thirty years. Since they get to share long summer vacations, they have taken advantage of this and have used every one of those summers, since 1967, to travel extensively throughout the world. When their daughter, Naomi, was born, she traveled with them. They have climbed mountains in France, Turkey and Peru, visited with Bedouins in Morocco, and trekked in the jungles of Southeast Asia, and Meso and South America. Mr. Rabinowitz is a skilled amateur photographer and cyclist, and a not so skilled amateur guitarist and pianist. This is his first book.

The Best Book EVER!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lincoln Exchange - Book I (Paperback)
This was, by far, one of the best books I've ever read. Melvin Rabinowitz doesn't miss a beat in this twisted sci fi/history saga. Definitely check this one out - it's a winner!

Now I Believe,

This review is from: The Lincoln Exchange - Book I (Paperback)
When I read all the rave reviews about "The Lincoln Exchange" I could not believe them. Now I do.

So real!,
This review is from: The Lincoln Exchange - Book I (Paperback)
I loved this book! I loved it! Loved it! Loved it! It was so real that I actually believed everything I was reading. Mr. Rabinowitz left nothing to chance. Everything was explained in such realistic detail, that I even felt as if time travel was really possible. When I put the book down, and came back to reality, I was almost dissapointed that this was, indeed, science fiction. Keep up the good work. I hope you continue using the Alan Gentry character in other stories.
