Jack McMahan's "Philatelic History of the Conquest of Space" catalog.

I would like to buy a copy.

Additionally, can anybody give me any publication details? Date, publisher, etc.?

Looks like Jack self-published. His original catalog is copyrighted in 1972 but lists flights through 1973 (not sure how that came about). He put these out in a custom three-ring binder. I can't recall what he charged for them (it's been almost 40 years since I bought mine).

Jack also published a supplement in 2005 covering 1974 and 1975.

I'm not aware of any that are up for sale right now. Anyone else?

Thanks for the publishing info, it just reinforces my desire to get a copy. The dates are bang on my collection time frame.

So please, if anybody has, or you know someone who has, a copy for sale, do let me know.

There are two copies posted to ABE Books. Cheaper of the two is $65.

Just enter the title in the search field.
