Michael Cader of Publisher’s Lunch compiles a roundup of Ronald Reagan books being reissued or rushed into print and notes that the top–ranking Reagan book at Amazon has been Kiron Skinner, Martin Anderson, and Annelise Anderson’s Reagan: A Life in Letters, originally published last fall.

Press releases about Reagan related books (mostly reprints) are coming at a fast pace. In the accelerated publishing schedule column, Sentinel has moved up Reagan Off the Cuff: Personal Recollections of The President, to July 26. Written by longtime Reagan aide Jim Kuhn, whose positions included serving as executive assistant to Mr. Reagan during his second term, it’s described by the publisher as, “A fly–on–the–wall memoir.” Bought last year, it was originally set for publication in 2005.

DK has announced a new run of their glossy $50 testimonial first published in 2001, Ronald Reagan: An American Hero, which includes reflections by Nancy Reagan and an introduction by William F. Buckley Jr. Later this month, PublicAffairs will ship a slipcased set of two paperback editions of Lou Cannon’s biographies, President Reagan: The Role of Lifetime and Governor Reagan: His Rise to Power.

And Andrews McMeel just happened to have over 130,000 copies of their paperback Ronald Reagan: A Remarkable Life by J.H. Cardigan, originally published in 1995, ready to ship.

In October, Skinner, Anderson and Anderson will publish another volume, Reagan’s Path to Victory, which the New York Daily News says will offer more radio talks and speeches and include an audio CD. Also, Random House is reprinting 50,000 copies, plus 40,000 more copies of Dutch, by authorized biographer Edmund Morris. The book was first published in 1999.
