Description
First edition, first issue of As We Remember Joe by John F. Kennedy.
Octavo, xi, [1], 75pp, [1]. Burgundy cloth, gilt title on spine, gilt title over black cloth box on cover, rubbing to heal of spine. Spots of soiling to front cover, short closed tear to lower edge of title page.
One of a limited printing of 360 copies, with red wings on title page to distinguish edition.
The first edition, first issue of this book is distinguished by the red wings in the center of the title page. The second issue of this book, privately printed by Robert Kennedy in 1965 as a Christmas Gift for family and friends, has the title page printed in all black. Only 250 copies of this second edition were believed to have been printed.
This book was edited by John Kennedy as a tribute to his brother, Joe Kennedy, who was killed in action during World War II, while serving as a bomber pilot. An incredible example of this scarce work by President John. F. Kennedy.
