Reading Jackie: Her Autobiography in Books

Reading Jackie:  Her Autobiography in Books
By William Kuhn

A book about books, which tell a story with a lifelong story maker, maybe even a myth maker.  The 100+ books edited by Jackie Kennedy Onassis reveals a little of how Jackie thought and/or lived.  Her lifelong love for reading is blatantly clear.  The books edited show her glamour, her interests, a small yet off shoot to her public life as 1st Lady, and her private view of life, including her public life.  This book uniquely shows a Jackie far outside of the Jackie Kennedy 1st Lady or Jackie O’.

If you like books this is a good read to see the role and process of an engaged editor.  If you want to go outside of the box on a Kennedy member this read will definitely be worth the read.

Reading Jackie is recommended.
