ONE OF OURSELVES
John Fizgerald Kennedy in Ireland

Ireland, 1963: a country at last on the verge of taking its place in the politics and economy of the modern world provides an extraordinary homecoming to a favorite son, President John F. Kennedy. Exhaustively researched by author James Robert Carroll, One of Ourselves tells a memorable tale as the leader of the free world visits a people and land long etched in his heart.

Toelke Associates designed One of Ourselves for publisher Images From The Past, Bennington, Vermont, in the spring of 2003

Our work on this project included:

• In consultation with the publisher: development of visual concept, page design and typography, cover graphic and book jacket design. Of special interest was highlighting text in the Irish language throughout the book.
• Create full-page map of Ireland
• Consultation for imaging, including providing in-house scans and image editing for nearly all of the photographs.
• Delivery of complete files and hard copy to printer.
• We worked closely with the publisher throughout the entire production process, making sure that the project moved forward to meet the publisher’s tight schedule. Extensive use was made of PDF files for editing purposes. The book was delivered on time and on budget.
