Edited by Douglas Brinkley, published by HarperCollins. I just bought it today and leafing through it, love it. It's organized by date (obviously, being a diary :-) and it is great fun to look at what Reagan was doing on your and your "loved ones" birthdays!
However, my favorite so far is a beautiful photograph on June 26, 1984 (which is a wedding anniversary in my family btw.) It shows President Reagan kneeling next to "Elizabeth Dawn Alford, Muscular Dystrophy poster child for the state of Georgia" in the Oval Office during her visit to Washington, D.C. It is a sublimely kind and beautiful photograph.
I just also noticed this January 12, 1984 entry: "Bill Wilson & Archbishop Pio Laghi came by. His Eminence will be Papal Nuncio now that we have diplomatic relations."
He was a great man and President, with great integrity, though being human, he did get some pretty bad advice sometimes. Thank God we overcame that!
