Archive of material related to Ford’s publishing collaboration with Lord John Press, comprised of nine signed items, including seven TLSs, one DS, and a signed proof sheet, as well as a substantial file of records concerning the work, not signed by Ford. The letters date from 1980 to 1994, primarily concerning publishing matters. One, in part: “I gave the Churchill lecture at the English-Speaking Union in London…Because of the Churchill connection, I thought you might be interested in publishing another book.” Another, in part: “Thank you for your letter of March 16, proposing a poster containing a picture and the text of my Inaugural speech as President…I am pleased with the miniature book of my speech to Visa International.” The 1994 letter, in part: “The Nixon funeral was most emotional for those who knew him over forty years.” The DS is a W-9 tax form, and the signed proof sheet is of the title page for the Lord John Press miniature edition of Global Stability. Among the other papers are a diagram of the proposed poster featuring Ford’s inaugural remarks, photos of Ford, letters from other firms, retained photocopies of letters sent to Ford, and several original mailing envelopes with Ford’s pre-printed free frank. In overall fine condition. From the collection of noted publisher and founder of Lord John Press, Herb Yellin. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
