Reader's Digest: John Fitzgerald Kennedy: A Celebration of His Life and Times VHS Box Set
A vintage three-volume VHS commemorative box set published by Reader's Digest focusing on the life of John F. Kennedy. The set is housed in a red, textured faux-leather or heavy cardstock slipcase featuring silver foil embossed lettering. The contents include three individual VHS tapes: Volume 1 (1917-1956: The Man Who Would Be President), Volume 2 (1957-1961: The Race for the White House), and Volume 3 (1961-1963: The Presidency and the Legacy). The slipcase shows moderate wear, particularly at the corners and edges where the red finish has rubbed away to reveal white cardstock underneath. There is a visible residue mark on the lower front panel where a price tag or sticker was previously removed. The internal tape cases appear to be standard plastic clamshells or library cases with printed paper inserts. This set likely dates to the early-to-mid 1990s, capitalizing on the popularity of historical documentaries and home video collections of that era. The construction is mass-produced but designed with a 'deluxe' aesthetic typical of Reader's Digest mail-order media products.
