First edition of this tribute to President Kennedy. Octavo, original boards, original slipcase, illustrated. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page, “To Allan Sherman with the sincere appreciation of his friend and admirer Pierre Salinger.” The recipient, Allan Sherman was actor, singer, producer and writer who became known as a song parodist in the early 1960s. His first album, My Son, the Folk Singer (1962), became the fastest-selling record album up to that time. His biggest hit was Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh, a comic novelty recording in which a boy describes his summer camp experiences to the tune of Ponchielli’s Dance of the Hours. Fine in a fine slipcase, with the original wrap around band. Edited by Pierre Salinger and Sander Vanocur.
