Complete 5-volume Fordiana Series by Lorin Sorensen (Silverado Publishing), documenting the history of Ford Motor Company in leather-bound, embossed, gilt-and-silver decorated volumes. Oblong format, richly illustrated throughout with vintage Ford photographs.
All five books share the same serial number — 01219 of a special First Edition press run of 3,336 copies, each signed in ink by author Lorin Sorensen on the limitation page. Matched serial numbers across a complete set are uncommon and highly desirable to Fordiana collectors, as most surviving sets were assembled piecemeal over time with mismatched numbers.
Titles included:
• The Good Old Fords
• The Commercial Fords
• The Ford Factory
• The American Ford
• The Open Fords
Condition:
All five books have clean, bright interiors with pages in excellent condition — no toning, tears, or markings. Exterior leather condition varies slightly by volume:
• The Good Old Fords — excellent condition throughout
• The American Ford — minor wrinkling to the back cover
• The Commercial Fords — one long wrinkle on the back cover
• The Open Fords — wrinkling to the back cover
• The Ford Factory — wrinkling to the back cover and spine
Overall a well-preserved, cosmetically minor-flawed set — ideal for the serious collector, especially given the matching serial numbers.
