I still have a good supply of "Falling To Earth" by Al Worden available. Each copy comes with the Farthest Reaches' exclusive, unpublished Al Worden hand signed poem on heavy card stock. The books themselves are 1st edition, first printing and also hand signed in the book by both Al Worden and Francis French.

These would make a great holiday gift at it's price of only $49.95 plus shipping which is less than the price of a single Al Worden autograph. The books will be available while supplies last. Each copy is in "as new" unread condition.

Pleas contact me via e-mail at steve@farthestreaches.com. You may see the book by visiting Farthest Reaches and clicking into "Breaking News" or into the "Signed Book" tab.

Thanks to all for your unwavering support over the years. — Steve Hankow

I'm reading "Falling to Earth" for the second time in preparation for the November ASF show. It's a great book which I highly recommend. Plus Steve is a great person who can be trusted 100%.

Overall a GREAT deal (I bought several from Steve, note careful packing as well), also re-reading for the show...

These copies are really special - not only are these first editions, they were signed on the 40th anniversary month of Al's flight, on the day we toured the facilities in Downey where his spacecraft was built. Quite a day!

I've gotten several off list emails but thought it would be worth responding here in case any collectSPACE members are wondering.
  1. The unpublished poem is NOT attached to the book. It's "laid" in so can be removed for display separately.

  2. The card stock is archival and Al's signature is authentic (not pre-printed)

  3. There were a total of only 300 of these special edition (with poem) copies produced and when they're gone, they're gone.

  4. Any of these special edition books that you see on eBay originated from Farthest Reaches. The poem was an exclusive offer for our clients, not available anywhere else.

  5. Multiple copies are available but discounts can not be extended. The pricing is already extremely favorable given the poem alone could be sold for more than the posted price of the signed book.

  6. I will ship ANYWHERE (well, almost anywhere)

  7. Shipping is extremely secure. My aim has always been to get your order to you in it's original condition. This means I generally tend to over pack which is important for you book collectors. I understand the importance of condition when it comes to collectible books.

  8. These are all first edition/first printing copies.

  9. Shipping within the US for a single copy is $12.
That pretty much covers the questions I've been receiving but if any others, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks as always...
