  The Torch is Passed The Associated Press Story of The Death of a President

Condition and description: There is some wear to the cover of this book, visible in the images. Some of the pages are also stained. This is a 40 year old book. Binding is tight and pages, for the most part, are clean. Oversize "coffee-table" book
This is the original 1963 issue and not a reprint and the book covers the Associated Press reporting on the assassination of John F. Kennedy through the state funeral.
What adds to the interest is a number of newspaper clippings from that period that were found inside the book. They were not preserved in any sense - I believe they were put in the book and forgotten about. Many of the clippings are aged and some have been taped where they tore. Some have small tears. Among the clippings:

* First Lady Displays Courage in Ordeal
* Jackie Goodbye: Wedding Ring
* Half Staff Flags Cast a Slight Shadow
* Cardinal Cushing's Eulogy
* Honor Agent for His Heroism That Day
* Hour by Hour to Death
* Kennedys: Family of Triumph, Tragedy
* At the Airport, Disbelief Fought Misery
* With Mrs. Johnson, LBJ Comes First (Full page article on Ladybird Johnson)
* The World Mourns Slain President (full page photos, front and back)
* Jackie Pays a Night Visit to Bier (note: continued on page 16, that page not available)
* DeGaulle Invites Jackie to France
* Full Page Photo of Jackie Kennedy arriving in Washington after assassination
* Kennedy was a Friend of the Arts (full page article)
* Oswald: Lonely Boy, Bitter Adult (full page article)
* Theatres Close in Mourning for JFK
* Stunned Nation Mourns President Kennedy (full page article, plus half page on reverse side)
