Does anyone know the signing habits of Jean-Loup Chretien?

I last met Jean-Loup Chretien exactly one year ago at the Kennedy Space Center. It was for an interview, after which he signed his basic litho and the two books he wrote (in french) and some stuff for the crew of the last Air France Concorde flight from New York to Paris I was about to take.

Would you mind posting the titles of the two books written by Chretien you mention?

With pleasure!
  • "Sonate au clair de terre: Itinéraire d'un Français dans l'espace"
    1993, ISBN 220724153X

    Two flights aboard Soyuz, with the extraordinary privilege to fly once to Salyut 7, then to Mir.

    Simply one of the best astronaut autobiography books you can find, candid, unbiased, technical but human and the absolute must regarding the experience of a Russian spaceflight before the end of the Cold War, because, as Jean-Loup is French, you won't find the usual "politically correct" stuff you have in the Valentin Lebedev and company books. In fact, it is full of critics but always written in a very sarcastic and funny way. More, it's a very poetic book, the man (the first to carry a electronic keyboard onboard) having a very artistic mind, wrote some beautiful pages that I never found in any biography.

  • "Mission Mir : Journal de bord"
    1998, ISBN 2840983745

    1997, now the man is getting back in space for another 11 days... with the shuttle. What a career, Salyut, Mir, and now Mir again, using all the spacecraft available, this book is a perfect follow-up to the first one. Again, a fabulous reading, this time on the U.S. side, but with a very emotional return to the station (and his good ol'keyboard) and details you will never find elsewhere.
