About this Item

First trade edition of the Warren Commission Report issued by McGraw-Hill in collaboration with The New York Times, presenting the official findings of the presidential commission appointed by Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. This edition contains the full text of the Commission's report along with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Harrison E. Salisbury and supplemental editorial material prepared by The New York Times, making it one of the most widely read commercial editions of the report during the immediate aftermath of the investigation.

Published shortly after the government's official report was released in September 1964, the book became a central historical document of the assassination and remains a key reference for historians, researchers, and collectors of modern American political history. Copies of this McGraw-Hill / New York Times edition are especially desirable for their durable cloth binding and distinctive two-tone blue boards with gilt titling.

This copy is a stated First Edition, confirmed by the copyright page reading 'Published October 1964' and 'FIRST EDITION.' Bound in original two-tone blue cloth with gilt lettering on the spine and front board. The volume remains structurally sound with clean interior pages and intact binding, showing moderate wear to the upper spine corner and light rubbing consistent with age.

The Warren Commission, chaired by Chief Justice Earl Warren, included prominent national figures such as Richard B. Russell, Hale Boggs, Gerald R. Ford, John Sherman Cooper, Allen W. Dulles, and John J. McCloy. Its report remains one of the most debated and scrutinized governmental investigations in modern American history.
