I found an interesting book in my late mothers belongings. It is a hardcover book with Kennedy's inaugural address. The book is white, on the spine embossed in gold is "INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF JOHN F.

The book is in a hardcover sleeve that is also white and has the Presidential Seal embossed in gold on the front. It measures 7"x10". There are no other markings that would indicate a publisher or copyright.

I have attached some pictures of it.

Any info you could give would be greatly appreciated.
