No further details as yet but, if it's anything like the "Queen in 3D" book he released a couple of years ago, I think we're in for a treat!<center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/moonmission3d_eicher_may02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/moonmission3d_eicher_may02.jpg" width="400" height="525" border="0"></a></center>On edit: In paying tribute to Alan Bean, Brian May posted the following in relation to the 3D book. <BLOCKQUOTE>Alan was a very accomplished artist, and had just given us (the London Stereoscopic Company) his blessing for us to reproduce this great painting of his "First Men - Neil Armstrong" in our forthcoming 3-D book on the Space Race..</BLOCKQUOTE></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>A few more details via Wikipedia: <BLOCKQUOTE>Eicher has written "Mission Moon 3-D," a book containing stereoscopic views of the Moon and with a text covering the Apollo missions, the space race, and the Soviet space program, in association with Brian May and his collaborators.

This visually rich book offers a new perspective on that historic accomplishment, telling the story of the lunar landing and the events that led up to it with text and 3-D images. A 3D viewer, designed by astrophysicist (and lead guitarist with the rock group Queen) Brian May is included with the book.Mission Moon 3-D offers unique access to the Apollo astronauts and what they saw. It tells the story of the US-Soviet space race, from Sputnik and the space dog Laika to Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy declared that America would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong guided the Eagle to a safe landing on the edge of the moon's Sea of Tranquility. President Richard Nixon told the astronauts, and the nation, that it was "the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation." Mission Moon 3-D recounts all this and more in memorable and visually stunning fashion.</BLOCKQUOTE> <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Hardcover: 192 pages <LI>MIT Press (October 23, 2018) <LI>ISBN-10: 0262039451 <LI>ISBN-13: 978-0262039451</UL> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/moonmission3d_eicher_may01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/moonmission3d_eicher_may01.jpg" width="400" height="520" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Astronomy Magazine video <BLOCKQUOTE>Please join Astronomy editor David J.

Radio interview with Brian May, explaining how he made 2D images into 3D stereoscopic photos.

I picked up the book on Amazon and all I can say is WOW this is a "must have" for any of you that want that "being there" feel.

Jurg Bolli

I agree 100%, this is great, very nicely done and well worth the $.

Rick Mulheirn

Can anybody tell me why there are two cover designs for the one book. What if anything is the difference?

Robert Pearlman

Judging by Amazon and Amazon UK, it appears to be the difference between the US and UK editions.

Rick Mulheirn

Thanks Robert.
