About This Item
More Kennedy Wit edited by Bill Adler Bantam Books #H3076 1965
Paperback
4.2 x 7 inches, 125 pages
Bill Adler is the author of numerous bestselling books including Kids' Letters to President Kennedy, The Kennedy Wit, and Kids' Letters from Camp. He has edited a wit book about every President since John F. Kennedy.
--------------
One of Mr. Adler's best-selling books was a collection called "The Kennedy Wit." The president's aides approved the project early in the administration, but Kennedy was said to have been angry about it, causing Random House to drop the idea. Mr. Adler suspected that the president had not wanted his humor emphasized so soon after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961.
After 35 more publishers turned the book down, Mr. Adler finally obtained a $2,500 advance from Citadel Press, a small publisher. The book, released in 1964, after the president's assassination, was on the New York Times best-seller list for more than six months and sold more than 1.4 million copies.
