For those of us who speak French: former French cosmonaut Jean-Pierre Haigneré is out with two books this fall: - Carnet de bord d’un astronaute, Editions Flammarion, 200 p., ISBN 2080114840, €28
It's an account of his latest spaceflight on Soyuz TM29 to space station MIR. - De l’espace, Editions Marval, 120 photos, 180 p., ISBN 2862343900, €49
This one's a coffee table book showing photos Haigneré took while onboard space station MIR. Probably understandable without the slightest notion of French.
They can be ordered through the French outlet of Amazon. ------------------

The first book is out of print (at least from amazon.fr, although recently published (6 sept. 2006) and comes with a cd-rom; you can find it elsewhere, fnac.com for one). The second is available but pricing is outrageous. Jean-Pierre Haigneré also co-wrote a book with Jacques Villain, "Dans les coulisses de la conquete spatiale" (backstage/behind the scenes of space conquest), publisher: Cepadues, ISBN: 2854285964. 2003. And Jacques Villain wrote a great book entitled "Baïkonour: La porte des etoiles" (Baykonur: doorway to space), available from amazon.fr. There are other books I can dig up for those who might be interested. Chris. |

That would be very quick for a book to be out of print. In some cases amazon does not sell the book, but only links to third party sellers, which might be the case here. I hope to be in Strasbourg later this month and visit the local fnac there to have a look myself.Are there are any books by Claudie Haigneré where she did more than lend her name or write a foreword? A bientôt, Jürgen ------------------

There is one, although that's not the original book. The original publisher was Plon in 1996 and at the time she wasn't married to Jean-Pierre Haigneré. Chris. |
