Geologic map of part of the Fra Mauro region of the Moon; Apollo 14 pre-mission maps USGS I-MAP 708. This is THE landing site map for the Apollo 14 mission.

I also have the following items starting on ebay around the same time:

A photoelectric-photographic study of the normal albedo of the Moon, accompanied by an Albedo map of the Moon USGS Professional Paper 599-E

Lunar terrain mapping and relative-roughness analysis USGS Professional Paper 599-G

Petrology and stratigraphy of the Fra Mauro Formation at the Apollo 14 site USGS Professional Paper 785

Missile impact craters (White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico) and applications to lunar research USGS Professional Paper 812-B

Crystallization history of lunar feldspathic basalt 14310 USGS Professional Paper 841

Geology of the Apollo 14 landing site in the Fra Mauro highlands USGS Professional Paper 880

Stratigraphy of part of the lunar near side USGS Professional Paper 1046-A

Lunar remote sensing and measurements USGS Professional Paper 1046-B

Geometric interpretation of lunar craters USGS Professional Paper 1046-C

Experimental photogrammetry of lunar images USGS Professional Paper 1046-D

The geologic investigation of the Taurus-Littrow Valley; Apollo 17 landing site USGS Professional Paper 1080

Engineer special study of the surface of the moon USGS I-MAP 351

Most of these are fairly rare publications and this collection of them is in mostly excellent condition. They are fully described in the auctions so I won't go into much detail here, except to say that the "Engineer special study of the surface of the moon" is a very rare item published in 1961 that has a unique historic place in the space program. The auction description for it is worth a look even if you're not interested in bidding.

OOOPS, By "tomorrow" I meant Tuesday, Jan 24. The Apollo 14 map ends then, and the other items start around the same time.
