[Signed] [First Edition] The Strategy Of Peace — John F. Kennedy — First Edition, First Printing — 1960 — Original $3.50 Dust Jacket — Secretarial

First Edition, First Printing. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1960. An important collection of John F. Kennedy's speeches and statements on foreign policy, national security, defense, peace, and related domestic issues, published during the year of his successful presidential campaign and edited by historian Allan Nevins. The copyright page explicitly states "FIRST EDITION" and carries the Harper & Brothers publication code "B-K," identifying this copy as the First Edition, First Printing. The front free endpaper bears a lengthy presentation inscription: "To George Sagin With warmest regards and every best wish Jack Kennedy" with "1960" written below. The inscription and "Jack Kennedy" signature are secretarial rather than personally written by John F. Kennedy and are not represented as an authentic JFK autograph. The copy came from a collector who had specifically identified/questioned the inscription as secretarial, and it is being offered accordingly. The original photographic dust jacket features Kennedy in profile and retains the original $3.50 publisher's price on the front flap. Condition Very Good in Good+ to Very Good- dust jacket, based on photographs shown. The book itself appears well preserved overall, with light age toning. The secretarial presentation inscription remains clear and legible on the front free endpaper. The original price-intact dust jacket remains substantially complete and visually appealing, showing rubbing and general shelf wear, edge wear, small closed tears and creasing, and wear at the spine extremities. The front panel remains strong and the portrait and typography are well preserved. Jacket is protected in a clear archival-style cover and retains the original $3.50 price. A collectible First Edition, First Printing of Kennedy's major pre-presidential foreign-policy volume, retaining its original price-intact jacket, with an interesting period secretarial presentation inscription.
