Easton Press Signed Collector's Edition: I Want to Tell You by O.J. Simpson

This entry features a remarkable cultural artifact of late 20th-century legal and media history: an authentically signed Signed Limited Edition of I Want to Tell You: My Response to Your Letters, Your Messages, Your Questions by NFL Hall of Famer and central figure of the "Trial of the Century," O.J. Simpson. Published in 1995 by The Easton Press, this leather-bound volume was produced during Simpson's highly publicized 1995 criminal trial and signed by the author while incarcerated at the Los Angeles County Men's Central Jail.

I Want to Tell You was compiled from thousands of letters, questions, and messages sent to Simpson following his June 1994 arrest. Co-written with Lawrence Schiller, the book offers Simpson's direct responses regarding his perspective on the charges, his faith, his thoughts on family and fame, and his reflections on the overwhelming media frenzy surrounding the proceedings. Given the extraordinary legal circumstances under which it was produced, the edition stands as one of the most unique and controversial publishing events of the 1990s.

Bound in Easton Press’s signature deep navy blue genuine leather, the volume features Simpson’s facsimile signature gilt-stamped on the front cover in 22k gold. True to fine press standards, it incorporates 22k gold-stamped accents, gilded page edges, archival-quality acid-neutral paper, a sewn-in satin ribbon page marker, and moiré fabric endpapers. Remaining factory sealed in its original publisher's shrink-wrap, the volume preserves its interior hand-signed limitation page by O.J. Simpson and the publisher's bound-in Certificate of Authenticity in unread, pristine condition. As a sealed copy, it is in Mint Condition, serving as a compelling acquisition for collectors of true crime memorabilia, modern American history, and limited leather-bound editions.
