I was recently out at a junk store and came across a copy of an "Apollo 11 Press Kit" and a copy of "From Peenemunde to Outer Space," both are in extremely good condition. I would appreciate any information about either of these, anything from how collectible or valuable they are to any historical importance (besides the obvious, ha ha).

I tried looking for information on both and didn't really find much. I found a site saying that the "From Peenemunde to Outer Space" was a special project for Von Braun's birthday and was only given out at his 50th birthday party to VIPs and executives, but I don't know how true that is.

I appreciate any help and look forward to hearing from you all.

That's correct, the heavy "From Peenemunde to Outer Space" book was only given to those people who attended Dr von Braun's 50th birthday party in March 1962. It's one of the holy grails of space books (check Boggsspace.com) and a good copy is valued between US $750 to US $999.
