It may be me, but I have seen nothing that indicates when the book is likely to be published, its availability or likely price tag.

Can anybody answer those questions?

The book will be available from the University of New Mexico Press sometime mid to late next year.

"Abandoned in Place," he said, was created almost by accident.

"I was consulting an environmental engineer from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station regarding the proper disposal of old photographic chemicals that had been found at a building the Air Force was renovating. He took me to see Launch Complex 19, the Gemini Program launch facility, and I knew instantly that I wanted to photograph this facility and others that were on Cape Canaveral," he explained of the project's genesis.

"In 1993, while preparing for an exhibit of Abandoned in Place at the Huntsville Alabama Museum of Art in Alabama, the curator asked if I would make some photographs at the NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center located there in Huntsville. I agreed, and I quickly realised I should photograph at other NASA and military facilities related to the space program."

Stenciled on many of the deactivated facilities at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the evocative phrase "abandoned in place" indicates the structures that have been deserted. Some structures, too solid for any known method of demolition, stand empty and unused in the wake of the early period of US space exploration. Now Roland Miller's color photographs document the NASA, Air Force, and Army facilities across the nation that once played a crucial role in the space race.

Rapidly succumbing to the elements and demolition, most of the blockhouses, launch towers, tunnels, test stands, and control rooms featured in Abandoned in Place are located at secure military or NASA facilities with little or no public access. Some have been repurposed, but over half of the facilities photographed no longer exist. The haunting images collected here impart artistic insight while preserving an important period in history.

  Relics of the Space Age

  Nearly three decades ago, Roland Miller, a photographer, received a phone call asking for help in disposing of photography chemicals from an old office building at Cape Canaveral in Florida. When he went there, he was enchanted by the hulking masses of abandoned launch pads. Mr. Miller persuaded NASA and the Air Force to let him take pictures.

  Later, he traveled the country to photograph other relics like the catacomb-like passages, above, of the stands that held the Saturn 5 engines during test firings at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The photographs have now been collected in a book, "Abandoned in Place," published this month by the University of New Mexico Press.

  Review: Abandoned in Place

  A major focus of the book is the decay of launch sites at the Cape after NASA or the Air Force decommissioned them. Particularly powerful is a pair of photos taken of the erector at Launch Complex 19, used by the Titan II during the Gemini program. The first, taken in 1991, shows the erector resting on its side, showing some rust and fading paint but otherwise looking mostly intact. The second photo, taken in 2005 from the same angle, shows much greater degradation, with pieces falling apart.

  Roland Miller publishes photography book on abandoned space launch sites

  In early February, Miller signed some of the 3,000 copies printed by New Mexico Press, culminating a 25-year project. For the next five months, 43 of the photos will be on display in Denver at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum.

  Miller, a photography professor for more than 25 years, said the book preserves and portrays abandoned, deactivated and repurposed space program sites through photography in a way that surpasses the official government approach to documentation. The book is both historical and artistic.

With this Kickstater Gold project, the money I raise is going to support my continuing efforts to document, interpret, and preserve the history of space exploration and research. Because the money raised will not be going to the UNM Press, I can offer the book as a stand-alone reward.

Along with offering the "Abandoned in Place" book as a stand-alone reward, I have also bundled it as a package with prints of images which were not available in the original Kickstarter. Other reward levels bundle the book as a package with new sizes of prints of images which were available in the original Kickstater. There are also prints available without the book for those who already own a copy of it.

The project ends at 4:18 PM EDT, on July 20, 2017, exactly 48 years to the minute after Apollo 11 landed on the Moon in 1969.
