It gives you one of those feelings that you stumbled accross the Holy Grail ( o.k. not that bad.), and of course you never put that book down, or let it out of your sight till it's paid for.

Ed Mitchell, Brian Shul (SR-71 Book), Jerry Linenger, and just last week I found Gene Kranz's signed book. I'll probably put Kranz's up on Ebay since I already have one that was signed in person. I ALWAYS flip the books open now and check for signatures. <IMG SRC="http://collectspace.com/ubb/smile.gif">Tom </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>nojnj</TD><TD>I found Gene Cernan's signed book at the Wright Pat AFB Museum a couple of years ago. Never know where treasures will appear!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Wehaveliftoff</TD><TD>I've found over the years, Gene Kranz, Sally Ride, & Jim Lovell Astronaut-wise. I actually nearly asked Gene to sign it only to open it up & see a signed bookplate. He eagerly wanted to see the pressing and said it was probably sold at a Sam's Club or alike!:}</TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
