by Dan Wise and Marietta Maxfield
This book is a must have for any serious JFK assassination student or collector
FIRST EDITION, PRE-PUBLICATION
Other than a couple of DJ flaws, this book is in MINT
Published by The Naylor Company in 1964, this is a LIMITED EDITION, PRE-PUBLICATION COPY, Numbered #890, 137pp
Based on in-depth research and interviews, this book is absolutely fascinating in the little details that it provides about the entire day of November 22, 1963, tracing the Kennedys, Oswald, Ruby, the Dallas Police, Doctors, etc. during that day in Dallas - behind the scenes.
Exerpted from the Dust Jacket: "This is a book for people everywhere- for those whose minds are fair and for those whose hearts are bitter - for it places, in sequence and in focus, the events that led to tragedy. Minute by fatal minute, step by inexorable step, it re-creates the day President Kennedy died. Is Dallas guilty of the assassination of John F. Kennedy? What was the truth about Dallas on November 22, 1963?"
Condition:
As you can see, there are a couple of tears in the DJ, no tears on the back. Book itself has very tight binding nice clean pages - does not appear to have been read. Other than the front DJ flaws, this book is in Mint condition.
There is an inscription inside, this was a gift to an individual from a group in appreciation of their friendship.
