I recall this as a hardbound reference, with a blue cover embossed in gold, published early in the Shuttle program. I'm trying to hunt down a nice copy but haven't had any luck.Any info on the book, or leads to sellers, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

I just now noticed on my copy of this book that the original price tag is still affixed to the inside rear cover... it was $39.95 back when I bought it new... Donald |

After 25 years, it is good to see that my book is still valued and requested! For those who would like an author-signed copy of "The Space Transportation Systems Reference", I have 10 left of the original and only printing of 3,000 copies. Called "The Ultimate for the Astro-Nut" by Toronto's Globe and Mail, it was the #1 selling book offered by the magazine "Final Frontier". It is perfect for autographs.A signed copy of my book currently is selling on Amazon for $235! Your price is only $50 USD each, shipping extra. Author signed. Inscriptions are no charge. Willing to swap for space letters and maps. |

I received my copy today. I haven't read it but it seems an exhaustive reference. Chris was kind enough to inscribe mine to some young space friends and they will enjoy it when I'm finished. Thank you Chris for a great buying experience (let alone great book). |
