to anyone of note are not often come by.  This collection of essays by 
Kennedy was published the year before he was assassinated.  Adhesive 
stain from a removed bookplate on the front endpaper well below 
Kennedy's writing.  Small chips at the spine tips and one corner of the 
dustwrapper which is otherwise quite nice.  Near Fine in a Very Good
