This one has been double signed by the author - Lady Maitland and also by Lady Thatcher. Olga Maitland's signature is hand signed, Margaret Thatcher's is by way of A Houses of Parliament bookplate - highly sought after in its own right - so difficult to find now. It will cost at least £50 to purchase on its own - if indeed you can locate one. This book is a well illustrated pictorial account of Margaret Thatcher's first 10 years as British Prime Minister.

Sidgwick & Jackson publish commercial and popular non-fiction with a strong personality specializing in high-profile biography and the history of popular culture, so they do have a very strong track record when it comes to publishing punchy, public figures & celebrities who have something to say!!! Moving on to the third piece of the collection - The Guardian Great Interviews of the 20th Century- Margaret Thatcher by Terry Coleman 1971, foreword by Michael White. This is no. 12 in a series of 14 Great Interviews in total. It is an 18 page booklet, in excellent condition, with only a tiny bit of scuffing around the edges & very slight marking to the cover. Lastly we have the superb Goblet - absolutely fabulous!!! Made in England, it is a stunning Minton Commemorative Lead Crystal Goblet, marking the Historic Appointment of Britain's First Woman Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. This stunning Goblet has been produced in a Limited Edition of only 750 pieces Worldwide by Minton Ltd. as a special commission for the Peter Jones Collection. It was designed by Will Cort, hand made in full Lead Crystal with a beautifully engraved bowl, air twist stem and a star cut foot. It is number 175 out of a very small 750 Limited Edition Worldwide. Standing at 18 cm in height, it's a very rare piece, comes in a lovely presentation box and is complete with a Certificate of Authenticity. The beautiful work done on this goblet is second to none. On the back there is Big Ben. On the glass-front itself, is a very distinguished side view of Margaret Thatcher.
