Signed Easton Press Edition of 'A Time to Heal: The Autobiography of Gerald R. Ford'

This is a title page and signature page from the high-quality Easton Press edition of 'A Time to Heal,' the autobiography of the 38th U.S. President, Gerald R. Ford. The book is part of 'The Library of the Presidents' series, known for its archival-quality materials. It is bound in genuine leather with deep-set typography printed on acid-neutral paper designed for longevity. The title is printed in a bold red serif font, contrasted by black ink for the subtitle and publisher's details. Central to the page is the bold, fluid signature of Gerald R. Ford in black ink, which appears to be an authentic hand-signed autograph rather than a printed reproduction, a common feature in limited Easton Press 'signed editions'. Below the signature is the Great Seal of the United States and the Easton Press logo. The page shows excellent preservation with no visible foxing, yellowing, or edge wear, indicating it has been stored in a climate-controlled environment. The paper has a creamy, off-white matte finish characteristic of fine bookmaking. The binding edge visible on the left side shows tight stitching, further indicating superior craftsmanship. This specific edition likely dates from the late 20th century, specifically following the book's original 1979 release but produced most likely in the 1980s or 1990s as part of the collectible presidential series.
