Mrs. Paine's Garage and the Murder of John F. Kennedy by Mallon, Thomas - 2002

New York, New York, U. S. A.: Pantheon Books. New with no dust jacket. 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. Ruth Paine, interviewed for this book, lived in Irving, Texas and met the Oswalds at a party. She went because she heard that some individuals who spoke Russian would be there, and she was interested in the language. So began her friendship with the Oswalds. Marina Oswald stayed with her for a time as her husband, Lee, went to New Orleans to look for work. They corresponded while the Oswalds were in Louisiana, and some of the letters are quoted in this book. After the Oswalds returned from New Orleans, they stayed with Mrs. Paine; she heard of an opening at the Texas School Book Depository, where Lee gained a position. He didn't work there long before using the location to assassinate President Kennedy. The rest is history. Black binding. ; 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall .
