Souvenir typescript from the foreword of A Night to Remember, one page, 8.5 x 11, signed and inscribed at the conclusion in black felt tip, “For Shirley Cohen—How flattering to an author, to have a reader take the trouble to copy a page from his book! Best wishes, Walter Lord, Sept. 28, 1975.” In part: “On April 10, 1912, the real ship left Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York. Her cargo included a priceless copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and a list of passengers collectively worth $250 million dollars. On her way over she too struck an iceberg and went down on a cold April night…the White Star Line called its ship the Titanic. This is the story of her last night.” In fine condition.
