Inscribed on the title page by Cutler to Seth Kantor, a journalist and author who was notably involved in the coverage and investigations related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Kantor was in the White House press bus, several cars behind President Kennedy’s motorcade, when the shots were fired in Dallas. His book, Who Was Jack Ruby? examined the circumstances around Ruby’s involvement and questioned the official narrative--suggesting that Ruby might have been “allowed” into the Dallas Police Station basement to kill Lee Harvey Oswald. This copy has laid-in publisher's ephemera, including a printed postcard, a typed letter/memo discussing the new publication, and two book advertisements.
