Has anyone seen this book, by Orloff and Harland? Any comments? Is it worth buying, or is it simply a rehash of other information sources? Is it available in hardback as well as softback? |

I just got Apollo: The Definitive Sourcebook. I think it's pretty good. It is a combination of Apollo by the Numbers and Exploring the Moon: The Expeditions of Apollo, but this time all the material is in one place. I have both of the other books, but I would get this one too. They combine all the material into a chapter on each mission. That works better for me as I can read the complete summary. Orloff and Harland also do a nice job summarizing the initial start of NASA and the designs for the spacecraft and the rockets that carried them. It is a rehash? Yes. Would I still buy it if I had the other two books? Yes. Would I buy it if I didn't have either of the other books? Absolutely! It is the definitive source. ------------------
