About This Item
New York: Chartwell Books. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 2017. First Edition. Hardcover. 0785835083 . DJ and boards show very light shelf wear.; A bright, solid book. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; B&W and colour photographs; 10.5 X 7.5 X 1.0 inches; 192 pages; "John Kennedy and his wife Jackie were more like glamorous movie stars than politicians, and were featured in many popular magazines. During his presidency, Kennedy faced mounting international tensions with the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and a world of change at home with the civil rights movement and the space program. His assassination on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, sent shockwaves around the globe, and turned the all-too-human Kennedy into a larger-than-life super-hero. The year 2017 marked the centenary of the birth of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States (1961-1963) and the youngest man ever elected to the office. Sworn in as president on January 20, 1961, the famous patriotic words of his inaugural address come ringing down through the years, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."" .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
