Can signed copies be purchased for mailing?
Good afternoon!
Yes, we can mail a signed copy but you will have to order through the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum website. Right now they are pre-order only as they will not be released until April 11. Please be patient with the website as it can be a little slow sometimes. Please include in the special instructions that you would like it signed and if you would like it personalized.
Here is the link to the book on the Museum’s website: https://estore.archives.gov/ford/product/pre-order-the-book-an-ordinary-man
