(SOLD) Michael Eddowes,
The Oswald File, New York, Ace, 1977, 1978, 1st printing, SC, 240p., VG.: This was a book written by a British man who was presenting the ridiculous theory that Kennedy was killed by Khrushchev and that Oswald really was the Commie assassin.

Portrait of the Assassin, New York, Bantam, 1965, 1966. 1st printing, SC, 560p., VG.: Gerald Ford was questioned in his Vice Presidential confirmation hearings concerning his use of what was then considered classified material in the creation of this book.

(SOLD) Sylvan Fox,
The Unanswered Questions About President Kennedy's Assassination, New York, Award Books, 1965, 2nd printing, SC, 221p., VG.: This is a very early criticism of the work of the Warren Commission.

Donald Freed and Mark Lane,
Executive Action, New York, Dell, 1973,1974, 6th printing, SC, 251p., F.: This book is a work of historical fiction concerning a hypothetical plot to murder JFK.

(SOLD) Warren Hinckle and William Turner,
The Fish is Red: The Story of the Secret War Against Castro, New York, Harper and Row, 1981, HB, 373p., DJ=VG, book=VG.: This book, according to one of its authors, Bill Turner was supressed. It is a very rare and hard-to-find book. It was later reprinted in expanded form in the early 90s. It convincingly connects the assassination to anti-Castro operations run by US intelligence. [$25.00]

(SOLD) James P. Hosty, Jr.,
Assignment Oswald, New York, Arcade, 1996, 1st edition, HB, 328p., DJ=E, book=E.: Another in a long list of questionable anti-conspiratorial books.

Kennedy, NY, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1986, HB, 555p., DJ=VG, book=E.: This is a very well written synopsis of some of the better researcher's work as of the mid-80s. While it was very well reasoned and carefully crafted, it was somewhat damaged by its presentation of another of those "confessed" participants in the assassination whose credibility is questionable.

Mark Lane,
Rush to Judgement, New York, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1966, 7th printing, HB, 468p., DJ=VG, book=E.: This early work is one of the few books to attain great commercial success.

Mark Lane,
Rush to Judgement, New York, Fawcett Crest, 1966, 1967, SC, 396p., VG.: This is the softcover version of an early work that is one of the few books on the Kennedy assassination to attain great commercial success.

Mark Lane,
Rush to Judgement, New York, Thunder's Mouth, 1966, 1992, LSC, 478p., VG.: This early work is one of the few books to attain great commercial success.

High Treason II, New York, Carroll and Graf, 1992, 1st edition, HB, 656p., DJ=VG, book=E.: This is the sequel to the book High Treason,, that was co-authored by Robert Groden with Livingstone.

Killing the Truth: Deceit and Deception in the JFK Case, New York, Carroll and Graf, 1993, 1st edition, HB, 458p., DJ=VG, book=E.: Harry is at it again, bashing critics and lone assassin theorists alike with his characteristic venom.

Norman Mailer,
Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery, New York, Random House, First Edition, 1995, HB, 791p., DJ=E, book=F (would be E, except for burn mark inside front cover).: Mailer combines efforts with lone assassin propagandist and 60s FBI informant Lawrence Schiller to produce a work that reads like (and contains much) fiction on the life of Lee Harvey Oswald. The idea here seems to be to paint Oswald as a violent wife beating kook with a propensity for violence. To it's credit (if one reads with a critical mind) the book contains interesting information on Oswald's Russian period. To make this work difficult to refute and to make using it for research tedious, it was published without an index. Take note that it was issued by Random House, the same company that published the horrendous lone-nut propaganda book, Case Closed, by Gerald Posner. [$10.00]

William Manchester,
The Death of a President: November 20-November 25, 1963, New York, Harper and Row, 1967, 1st edition, HB, 710p., NDJ, G.: Very few books on the assassination have sold more than one million copies. This book is one of the few, and like most of these million-selling works on the assassination, it is not reliable in its evaluation of the evidence relating to conspiracy. [$9.00]

William Manchester,
The Death of a President: November 20-November 25, 1963, New York, Harper and Row, 1967, SC, 814p., VG.: Very few books on the assassination have sold more than one million copies. This book is one of the few, and like most of these million-selling works on the assassination, it is not reliable in its evaluation of the evidence relating to conspiracy.

(SOLD) Jim Marrs,
Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy, New York, Carroll and Graf, 1989, 1990, SC, 625p., VG.: Jim Marrs offers a collection of various arguments that appear to indicate a JFK conspiracy.

(SOLD) Hugh McDonald and Geoffrey Bocca,
Appointment in Dallas: The Final Solution to the Assassination of JFK, Black cover version, New York, The Hugh McDonald Publishing Corporation, 1975, 1st printing, SC, 211p., F.: Here is a United States intelligence-oriented author revealing the nature of the plot. This book includes a highly dubious confession by a shooter that appears to be deliberate disinformation. This is another of those assassination books that suffers a credibility problem by reading more like a novel than a work of non-fiction. [$8.00]

(SOLD) Hugh McDonald and Geoffrey Bocca,
Appointment in Dallas: The Final Solution to the Assassination of JFK, White cover version, New York, The Hugh McDonald Publishing Corporation, 1975, 1st printing, SC, 211p., F.: Here is a United States intelligence-oriented author revealing the nature of the plot. This book includes a highly dubious confession by a shooter that appears to be deliberate disinformation. This is another of those assassination books that suffers a credibility problem by reading more like a novel than a work of non-fiction. [$8.00]

Hugh McDonald and Robin Moore,
LBJ and the JFK Conspiracy, Westport CT, Condor, 1978, 1979, 2nd edition, SC, 242p., VG.: This is an absurd work of fiction that was sold as non-fiction. It was written by two persons who had intimate and long-established connections with US intelligence. It is widely regarded as disinformation for very good reasons. It contains nonsensical reconstructed dialogue of Nikita Khrushchev scheming to bump off JFK. It also purports to identify one of the men with a rifle in Dealey Plaza. It is a rare book, even though it was the sequel to another book on the assassination by McDonald that supposedly sold one million copies. Reading this book is a worthwhile exercise if you are interested in the effort to muddy the waters concerning conspiracy. [$19.00]

Priscilla Johnson McMillan,
Marina and Lee, New York, Harper and Row, 1977, Book Club Edition, HB, 659p., DJ=G, Book=E.: Priscilla McMillan is an author who many critics believe was some sort of agent for the U.S. government. She was largely responsible for isolating Marina Oswald from exposure to conspiracy-oriented information. This book was delayed for many years and is one of the most militant of lone assassin oriented books. Oswald's wife now believes there was a conspiracy and that her husband, Lee Harvey Oswald, was a patsy. [11.00]

Bonar Menninger,
Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK, NY, St. Martin's Press, 1st Edition, 1992, 1st edition, HB, 361p., DJ=G, Book=VG, ex-libary copy.: One of the most bizarre conspiracy theories is the central thesis of this book. The author makes the amazing and controversial claim that JFK was shot by one of his own Secret Service agents from the followup car. [$12.00]

Jim Moore,
Conspiracy of One, Ft. Worth, The Summit Group, 1991, 1992, LSC, 236p., E.: Here is another in a short list of books on the John F. Kennedy assassination that actually puts forth the notion that the Warren Commission was right and advocates the lone-assassin theory as the solution to the crime. [$12.00]

(SOLD) Relman Morin,
Assassination: The Death of President John F. Kennedy, NY, Signet, 1st Printing, 1968, SC, 191p., G.: This book is an obscure lone assassin oriented effort that was published without an index. A bland effort at defending the Warren Commission. Morin engages in some early Warren Commission critic bashing. [$9.00]

(SOLD) Robert D. Morrow,
First Hand Knowledge: How I Participated in the CIA-Mafia Murder of President Kennedy, New York, Shapolsky, 1992, HB, 384p., DJ=G, Book=VG.: Robert Morrow, recently deceased, tells all about his role in the John F. Kennedy assassination in a book that sometimes reads more like a novel than a work of non-fiction. There are some very interesting things here, but the truthfulness of the author has been called into question by researchers concerning much of the information presented within the book. [$10.00]

(SOLD) Robert Morrow,
Betrayal: A Reconstruction of Certain Clandestine Events from the Bay of Pigs to the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, Cranbury, NY, Regnery, 1976, HB, 229p., DJ=G, book=VG. Signed by Author.: This is supposedly an insider's account of the assassination plot from someone who claims to have played a role. It reads like a novel with its "reconstructed" dialogue and unbelievable James Bond-ish action scenes, complete with car chases. This is considered by many to be a work of fiction and perhaps a deliberate deception. [$20.00]

John Newman,
JFK: Oswald and the CIA, NY, Carroll and Graf, 1995, 1st Edition, HB, 627p., DJ=E, book=E.: John Newman, a former Army Intelligence and NSA employee, gives us a surprising evaluation of new file releases that suggest that Lee Harvey Oswald was some type of US intelligence agency pawn. It appears that the CIA was very interested in Oswald long before the assassination in a way that indicates the CIA had, an "operational interest" in the alleged presidential assassin. [$12.00]

(SOLD) Mark North,
Act of Treason, New York, Carroll and Graf, 1991, 1992, LSC, 671p., E.: This book tries to make the case that J. Edgar Hoover was behind the assassination of JFK. It is constructed in a time line format and contains much valuable and fascinating information about Hoover and JFK. It falls short of actually proving Hoover was a plotter, but certainly establishes possible motives for Hoover to participate in cover-up activities relating to the crime. [$11.00]

(SOLD) Peter Noyes,
Legacy of Doubt, NY, Pinnacle Books, 1973, 1st printing, SC, 251p., G.: Out of hundreds of books written on the assassination Of JFK, this is one of few that have been written by a practicing journalist which favors conspiracy. It is a relatively rare book, relesed only in softcover. It deals with the strange case of one Eugene Hale Brading. [$15.00]

(SOLD) Carl Oglesby,
Who Killed JFK?, Berkeley, CA, Odonian Press, 1992, 1st printing, SC, 95p., E.: This is a very good simplification of the possible whodunnit of the assassination. It is highly recommended as a source for a quick overview of the case written by one of the better authors of JFK assassination literature. [$7.00]

(SOLD) James Phelan,
Scandals, Scamps and Scoundrels: The Casebook of an Investigative Reporter, NY, Random House, 1st Edition, 1982, HB, 222p., DJ=G, book=E.: This work contains a long chapter dedicated to discrediting Jim Garrison and his late 60s trial of Clay Shaw for the assassination of JFK. He reminisces about the strange case where he was one of many reporters who were more interested in destroying Garrison than in covering the news of the case. [$9.00]

(SOLD) Richard H. Popkin,
The Second Oswald, New York, Avon, 1988, 1966, 1st printing, SC, 174p., F.: This is an early, scarce and classic work on the assassination of JFK. Popkin was one of the first researchers to study in depth the idea of possible impersonations of Lee Harvey Oswald. The implication is that there was an organized, conspiratorial effort to frame Lee Oswald for the murder in advance of the actual assassination. [$15.00]

(SOLD) Gerald Posner,
Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK, New York, Random House, 1993, 1st edition, HB, 607p., DJ=E, book=E.: This may be one of the worst books ever written on the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It is filled with errors and misrepresentations that are described in detail in this site's Electronic Assassinations Newsletter. Posner argues the concept that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK. The book is interesting to study because it draws on all of the arguments offered by preceeding lone assassin theory advocates while adding a few new twists. [$9.00]

(SOLD) Charles Roberts,
The Truth about the Assassination, New York, Grosset and Dunlap, 1967, 1967, LSC, 128p., VG.: This book was an early anti-critical book by Newsweek's White House correspondent at the time of the assassination of JFK. It was highly recommended by the CIA at the time it was released, according to recently released files. This news reporter was in the motorcade and was on Air Force One as LBJ was sworn in. [$14.00]

(SOLD) Howard Roffman,
Presumed Guilty, Cranbury, NJ, A. S. Barnes, 1975, 1976, 2nd printing, HB, 299p., DJ=G, book=VG.: This is another very hard to find assassination-related title. It is written by a person who was guided in his research by Harold Weisberg. It is a very logical and highly convincing work that convincingly argues conspiracy. [$30.00]

(SOLD) Dick Russell,
The Man Who Knew Too Much, New York, Carroll and Graf/Richard Gallen, 1992, 1st edition, HB, 824p., DJ=VG, book=E. Signed by Author.: A very large but extremely well-written book on the JFK assassination. It gives much background on the assassination but focuses on recently-deceased Richard Case Nagell. Nagell was an agent of military intelligence who had a relationship with the CIA who claimed that as a double agent he was asked by the Soviets to step in and prevent the assassination of JFK. Although some of Nagell's claims are uncorroborated this still qualifies as an example of the cliche; truth is stranger than fiction. [$18.00]

David Scheim,
Contract On America: The Mafia Murder of the President, NY, Shapolsky, 1988, HB, 480p., DJ=E, book=VG.: The author takes the reader through the evidence and testimony that indicates possible Mafia involvement in the killing of JFK. Scheim now feels that U.S. intelligence had some part in the conspiracy. [$12.00]

(SOLD) David Scheim,
Contract On America: The Mafia Murder of the President, NY, Zebra Books, 1988, 1989, SC, 624p., E.: The author takes the reader through the evidence and testimony that indicates possible Mafia involvement in the killing of JFK. Scheim now feels that U.S. intelligence had some part in the conspiracy. [$8.00]

(SOLD) Bill Sloan,
JFK: Breaking the Silence, Dallas, Texas, Taylor Publishing, 1993, HB, DJ=VG, book=E.: Mr. Sloan tells the stories of 12 people who were connected in some way to the story of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This book is difficult to use as a research tool since it was published without an index. [$11.00]

(SOLD) Bill Sloan with Jean Hill,
JFK: The Last Dissenting Witness, Gretna LA, Pelican, 1992, 2nd printing, HB, 255p., DJ=VG, book=E.: While there is no doubt that Jean Hill was an important witness to the Kennedy murder, the critics and anti-critics have both questioned the details of her story. While some of the controversial claims of Hill have turned out to be true, her story has evolved over the years. This book has two strikes against it from a researcher's point of view. One problem is the lack of an index and another is the fact that it reads like a novel. [$10.00]

Brian Sprinkle and James Butman,
The Armchair Detective, Highland, FL, Rainbow, 1992, 1st printing, SC, 127p., VG.: This is a short and simple book that claims to sort out the confusing mass of information surrounding the assassination of JFK. It rehashes material presented in some of the better known books on the assassination. [$9.00]

Jean Stafford,
A Mother in History: Marquerite Oswald, The Mother of the Man Who Killed Kennedy, New York, Bantam, 1966, SC, 119p., VG.: From the title we see that the author had an obvious anti- conspiracy bias. This is in stark contrast to the attitude of the subjet of the book, Lee Harvey Oswald's mother. The author ridicules the subject and paints her in a most unflattering light. Mrs. Oswald believed her son was not only innocent of the crime, but was some type of intelligence agent, who was set up to be the scapegoat for the crime of the century. [$12.00]

(SOLD) Anthony Summers,
Conspiracy, New York, McGraw-Hill, 1980, HB, 640p., DJ=VG, book=E.: Anthony Summers is a respected Irish journalist and author of many books including an outstanding biography of J. Edgar Hoover. This book, despite its age and an occasional overstatement or error stands today as one of the very best books written about the mysteries of the JFK assassination. The information on the Cuban exile and U.S. intelligence aspects of the assassination are very well written and researched. [$15.00]

(SOLD) United States Government/New York Times,
The Report of the Warren Commission, New York, McGraw-Hill, 1964, 1st edition, HB, 726p., NDJ, VG.: The New York Times issued a hardcover unabridged version of the Warren Report soon after its release by the Government Printing Office. In this version we are bombarded by immediate lone-assassin endorsements by several of the Times' most prominent writers. Before one gets to the text of the report we see pieces by Harrison Salisbury, Tom Wicker, Anthony Lewis and James Reston. [$7.00]

(RESERVED) United States Government/Associated Press,
The Warren Report: The Official Report on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, (portions selectively edited out of text) New York, AP, 1964, HB, 366p., NDJ, VG.: This shortened version of the government's report on the JFK assassination was issued without the name index that was contained in the government edition. Key conspiratorial issues were clouded by strategic editing of sections of text that were in the original report. [$7.00]

United States Government/New York Times,
The Witnesses, New York, McGraw-Hill, 1964, 1965, first edition, HB, 634p., NDJ, VG.: The New York times teamed up with McGraw/Hill in an effort to convince readers that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assasin of John F. Kennedy. It tries to do this by presenting a highly selective sampling of testimony to the Warren Commission. [$9.00]

United States Government/New York Times,
The Witnesses, New York, McGraw-Hill, 1964, SC, 626p., G.: The New York times teamed up with McGraw/Hill in an effort to convince readers that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assasin of John F. Kennedy. It tries to do this by presenting a highly selective sampling of testimony to the Warren Commission. [$7.00]

Harold Weisburg,
Whitewash: The Report on the Warren Report, New York, Dell, 1965, 1966, 1st Dell printing, SC, 368., G.: This is the mass-market version of the first of many assassination-related works of the prolific writer, Harold Weisburg. This book was turned down by many publishers who felt it was just too hot to handle. His sucess in self-publishing the book in 1965 led to this edition that was released in the following year. [$12.00]

(SOLD) Harold Weisburg,
Whitewash II: The Secret Service Coverup, New York, Dell, 1966, 1967, 1st Dell printing, SC, 384., missing front cover, but otherwise G.: This is the Dell mass-market version an earlier self-published book that analyzes the then-known information relating to the Secret Service's actions before, during and after the JFK assassination.

Covering the Body, Chicago, Univ. of Chicago Press, 1992, HB, 299p., D=EJ, book=E.: Written by a Temple University assistant professor of rhetoric and communication, this work takes us through the process by which the press, especially the emerging television news media affected our perceptions about the assassination of John F.
