JFK autographed book

A couple of years ago, I inherited my aunt's entire collection of presidential and political memorabilitia. Included with the lot is a book signed by JFK, with a personal message to our town's mayor at the time. I am considering selling the book and would like to get the signature authenticated. Can someone recommend an authenticator or service that is reputable? I've done some research and have ended up more confused than when I started. Any input and direction is appreciated! Thank you!

JSA or PSA. I use JSA and they do a good job.

Do you have a photo? Many on this site can help offer opinions as well. Authentication fees for JFK can be very expensive.

Post the photos here.  I'm pretty sure James can give his opinion.

This is in my opinion a secretarial version.

I think it is worth sending to PSA/DNA. My opinion is that it is good, from the late 1950's, perhaps when he was on the campaign trail. Here is a great verified real "Jack" signature and there are a lot of similarities. It doesn't match any of the secretarial that I see.

Photo is courtesy of Andreas Weimer, you can also send him an email to get his opinion.
