For lovers of History & Modern-day Camelot

This item is a treat.  "In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy recorded seven historic interviews about her life with John F Kennedy.  Now, for the first time, they can be heard and read in this deluxe, illustrated book and 8-CD set."

Good Luck!.

I just wanted to send a quick thank you to the Salem Friends. The library is such a great resource and my family appreciates your work on behalf of our favorite place in Salem.
