Just a few months after the mission, United Press International published a hardcover book covering the events, all the way from the astronauts' training to their celebratory tour. It's an excellent 50-page book, the highlight being page after page of color photos of White's space walk. (In fact, the title is Gemini: America's Historic Walk in Space.)

White and McDivitt signed this copy, on a page showing them in their spacesuits.

Sadly, barely a year later White was one of the astronauts to die in the Apollo 1 fire. Vintage items signed by both Gemini 4 crew members are in high demand — an inscribed GT-4 signed photo, for example, sold recently for $1804.

This book is even more extraordinary and rare than a signed photo – you'd be getting dozens of photos and a complete history of the mission, published the very year it occurred.

SOLD $1400. You could pay in two or three installments if you like. SOLD

A close-up of the signatures (White really took advantage of all that space — his signature is five inches long!):

Here is the book's cover...
