Greetings, cynthia57!

How interesting it has been to research this Question!

You didn't say where you live, so I have found both a French version
of the catalogue available in France, and an English version available
in the United States.

The Musée de la Mode et du Textile's website has information on this
exhibition at:
http://www.ucad.fr/mmt/kennedy/communique.htm

They show the catalogue available on this page:
"Jacqueline Kennedy, les années Maison-Blanche. Sélections de la John
F. Kennedy Library and Museum" par Hamish Bowles, Rachel Lambert
Mellon et Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.

"L’arrivée de Jacqueline Kennedy au rang de première dame des
États-Unis eut une influence importante sur le style et la mode des
années 1960. La sélection de robes, tailleurs, ensembles et
accessoires présentée dans cet ouvrage, sur fond de photographies
d’époque, de notes personnelles et d’anecdotes fournies par des
familiers de la Maison-Blanche, témoigne de son étendue."

novembre 2002
23,5 x 30 cm, 198 pages
345 ill. dont 200 en couleurs
coédité avec Flammarion
ISBN 2-08-0111329
diffusion Union Distribution
45 €
http://www.ucad.fr/ucad/editions/index-expositions.html

It is not clear from the museum's website whether they still have
copies of this catalogue available for purchase. I have sent to the
museum an e-mail inquiry (in my somewhat rusty French) to find out if
it is possible to order this item from them. I will let you know just
as soon as I hear back from them.

While the museum lists this item for sale at EUR 45, it can be
purchased from Amazon France for slightly less:
Prix éditeur : EUR 45,00  / 295,18 FF 
Notre prix :  EUR 42,75  /  280,42 FF 
Économisez :  EUR 2,25  /  14,76 FF  (5%) 
If you wish to buy this one, you will want to do so quickly; they have
only 1 copy left.
http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/2080111329

Here is the English version of the catalogue:
"Jacqueline Kennedy : The White House Years: Selections from the John
F. Kennedy Library and Museum" by Hamish Bowles (Editor), Metropolitan
Museum of ArtNew York, N.Y., John F. Kennedy Library and Museum
List Price: $50.00  
Price:      $35.00

You Save:   $15.00 (30%)

The Amazon Stores (independent booksellers) also have 42 new and used
copies of this item starting from a price of $9.50:

And just for fun...

The JFK Library website has a section devoted to this exhibition:
"The special exhibition on Jacqueline Kennedy that opened to rave
reviews this spring and took New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art by
storm has come home to the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum where it
officially opened to the public on Saturday, September 15 [2001]."
