How would you have the willing moonwalkers sign the book "Footprints: The 12 Men Who Walked on the Moon" -- all at the front of the book, or each at the beginning of their respective chapters? Thanks!

I sent mine around in the early 1990s and each astro signed the picture page or the 1st page of their chapter. It's my prize possession. Sent it around to each of them thru the mail and each signed it and sent it back--even Mr. Armstrong! I was 11 for 12 for the moonwalkers. Jim Irwin had already passed away, but since I was stationed in Colorado Springs at the time, I called up Mrs Irwin and asked if I could come over for her signature. She signed it, and then applied an ink stamp of Mr Irwin's signature next to hers. So I consider that I got 12 of 12 Moonwalkers. Ain't never gonna see my book on EBay! The hobby was so much easier back then!

Well done KM.

I have only 10/12 in mine, having missed Armstrong and Irwin. Quite a coup to get Armstrong to sign - especially as he was the only one not to interview for the book.

Mine is signed under the portrait of each astro at the beginning of their chapters.

IMO this is the ultimate MW12 book to have signed.
