Customer Reviews

Outstanding pictures, good text

I highly recommend this book, primarily for the great picutures of JFK. This 40th anniversary volume succeeds in presenting many rare and never-before-seen photos. I especially like the ones depicting Secret Service agent Gerald Blaine on the rear of the limousine in Italy 7/63. Get this! [...]

Great book ! Unseen pictures !

It is a great book !Although I am not a "Kennedy fan", I have to admit these pictures are awsome. Over 300 pages of dream, glamour, fashion, history & photography.It is not a political testimony, just a tribute to one of the most famous icons ever.My advice ? THE perfect Xmast gift!!

The one JFK book to have if any

The most impressive photo collection on JFK. No doubt about that. Lots of glamour, high quality color photos as wellAll the classic Kennedy shots I was expecting, plus previously unknown photos of him and his family.Excellent value for money as well!!

Just pictures, cool layout, great book

A GREAT book that is easy on texts (just the key things - nobody reads texts anyway). Great choice of pictures and lay-out (fonts, graphics, designs), and fantastic cover. Nice piece of book to leave on display.A must-have for Kennedy fans, and just anybody who is into Ralph Laurenish lifestyle and imagery. A lot of these images are so right-on to understand America's collective psyche, and our ideas on males, family, leaders, politics, etc. very powerful images.Good choice of pictures also to see both sides of JFK, the man and the political figure with diverse sources for the photos.
