ABOUT
THE BOOK
Miller Publishing, Inc. presents the publication of Liberty
For All, the first and only pictorial volume authentically documenting
the historic restoration of the Statue of Liberty. Authorized by the organization
that spearheaded the project, The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation,
Inc., Liberty For All makes a most memorable, customized corporate
gift for valued customers, directors or employees.
"Commemorating our land with landmark books" is the mission
of Miller Publishing. This theme holds true as this newest release employs
dramatic images to pay homage to the most recognized symbol in the world.
As such, Liberty For All promises to be the corporate gift that
will become a treasured keepsake to those who receive it - and a continued
reminder of the generosity of the corporation that gave it.
"Liberty For All is truly the gift that says 'America',"
said Fred Miller, President of Miller Publishing, Inc. "And we are
happy to offer during this pre-publication period the opportunity to personalize
the book with a company's corporate picture and message on the dust jacket,
making it a most meaningful way for a corporation to commemorate an important
event, occasion or holiday."
Through the eyes of photographer Peter B. Kaplan and the words of the
legendary Lee Iacocca, this 240 page coffee-table style publication depicts
the history of the world-famous monument from its humble birth in France
where it was conceived as a gift to America, to its role as a welcoming
beacon for immigrants, and finally to the present day, as a symbol of
freedom for people everywhere.
Kaplan's expertise in "height" photography won him preferred
access to document the restoration from an insider's point of view. Beginning
in 1982 through to her glorious centennial celebration in July 1986, Liberty
for All features over 300 captivating and breath-taking photographs
that capture the monumental nature of the project, the technical challenges
confronted and the human drama of being up close and personal with America's
most beloved symbol.
Lee Iacocca, son of immigrants and the epitome of the American Dream,
headed the public-private partnership that oversaw the Statue's restoration
to a successful completion with the unwavering support of the American
people. His plain spoken text in Liberty for All brings to life
the enormity of the task, the emotional nature of the journey and the
thrill that all Americans felt upon the Statue's triumphant unveiling
during the Liberty Weekend festivities.
"For over a century Lady Liberty has inspired Americans with her
beauty, dignity and history," said Lee Iacocca. "Now more than
ever in the turbulent times in which we live, the Lady continues to inspire
us, her torch held high, as the ultimate symbol of freedom, hope and possibility."
When words just aren't enough, Miller's high-quality publications present
a subject in all its full-color drama. Liberty For All makes the
perfect addition to a corporate marketing or customer relations campaign.
