I have started collecting space related patches and would like to know good reference books, websites, etc. to assist me in my collecting. Also, any suggestions on reputable vendors that sell the patches? I have been to the NASA gift shop sites and AB Emblems websites and have purchased a few there already. Have also been looking at eBay but unsure which ones are making the knockoff patches. |

There's only three websites you need for patch references: SkyForce Patches - Joe Fricano's store or Brett Anderson's The Space Store are both excellent and honest patch retailers. |

I would add SpaceBoosters from the UK to this list.

I think you also could have a look to Spacefacts.de to read more of the mission's stories. |

"Space patches" - From Mercury to the Space Shuttle, by Judith Kaplan and Robert Muniz is also a handy reference although published in 1986. |

Thank you for the information. I will look at the sites this week and review the information. |
