Beschreibung

No date on the title page. Copyright page dated only 1955, 1956, with publication code F-F below. The first printing has the code M-E, according to consensus of dealers. The M-E code means December 1955. The code in this copy, F-F, means June 1956. 266 pages. Bound with black cloth spine with gold lettering. Blue cloth over boards. Some minor edgewear, but no significant damage of any sort. After the front endpaper, there is a detached page that appears once to have been tipped in between endpaper and half-title page. It is the same size as the pages in the book, but is a different kind of paper. Top edge browned. Some old glue residue at inner edge. The page is signed "John Kennedy" Kennedy's signature is notoriously variable and messy. In addition, he used autopens to mechanically sign things. AND his staff routinely signed his name on correspondence. I have not been able to match this signature (in blue ballpoint pen) to any of the known and numbered Secretarial signatures, nor to the autopen -- Unfortunately, it also does not match perfectly with known Kennedy signatures, which usually look like they say anything EXCEPT John Kennedy. I suspect that this is a secretarial signature, but I'd be interested to know what any experts who see this might think. Kennedy was still in the Senate when this book was published. It won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1956 (even though Ted Sorenson wrote most of the book). Please email with questions or to request photos. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers V-119
