Profiles in Courage, Memorial Edition by John F. Kennedy

This item is identified as a 'Memorial Edition' of the book 'Profiles in Courage' by John F. Kennedy. The cover, which appears to be a dust jacket or possibly the actual hardback cover, is off-white or cream-colored, suggesting a light-toned paper or board material. The text is printed in a dark, likely black or dark brown, serif font, giving it a classic and formal appearance. The title 'PROFILES IN COURAGE' is prominently displayed in larger, bolded capital letters, with 'JOHN F. KENNEDY' directly above it. Below the main title, it notes 'Special Foreword by Robert F. Kennedy'. At the very top, 'MEMORIAL EDITION' is written, underlined, and accompanied by a small star symbol. The publisher, 'HARPER & ROW, PUBLISHERS', along with their locations 'NEW YORK, EVANSTON, AND LONDON', is listed at the bottom. The overall construction suggests a standard bound book format. Given its good condition, there are no significant visible tears, creases, or discoloration on the part of the cover shown. The binding edge is partially visible on the left, appearing dark, likely part of the book's spine or an adjacent cover. The 'Memorial Edition' designation suggests it was published post-mortem, likely after John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963, placing its estimated age from the mid-1960s onward. The typography and layout reflect the publishing styles of that era, emphasizing readability and a dignified presentation. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, typical for a published book from a reputable publisher.
