Kennedy (Ted Sorensen's Personal Copy AND the First Punjabi Edition)

Jullundur, India: Asian Publishers, 1967. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. A true Kennedy rarity -- the 1st Punjabi edition of Theodore Sorensen's 1965 "Kennedy" AND the author's personal copy to boot. Stapled onto the dustjacket's front flap is the "Transmittal slip", which states December 1967 as date of publication, 5,000 as number of copies published and Punjabi as the language. Solid and VG in its light-red cloth, with some streaking and very minor soiling to the panels. And in a bright, VG example of the fragile pictorial dustajcket (a drawn portrait of JFK adorning the front cover), with a 1/2" chip at the spine crown and just a touch of slight creasing along the edges. Octavo, a solid, very presentable copy of this wonderful JFK curiosity.
