"As New" copies of "Selecting the Mercury Seven: The Search for America's First Astronauts" by Colin Burgess. These copies are not remaindered or priced clipped. They are first edition/printing copies but were somehow produced approximately a half-inch smaller than those that were printed later. Otherwise, these are exactly the same in all respects as those currently being sold on Amazon and elsewhere. Making these even more desirable is that each copy is authentically hand signed in black on the title page by author Colin Burgess who adds "Ad Astra". They are priced at a ridiculously favorable $15 which includes media mail shipping within the USA. Email or call for shipping cost to international locations or for multiple copies. Multiple copies are available for anyone wishing to use as trade bait, use as gifts or offer elsewhere. If interested, please contact steve@farthestreaches.com. Thanks as always for your continued support. |

I can confirm that this is a genuine offer - I signed all of these copies for Steve, and they are brand-new books, unread. |

Speaking of "can't beat it" (thanks for the segue Al ..lol), I've been asked via email by more than a few people about offering a deeper discount for multiple copies. Thought I'd answer here for anyone who may also be interested.Ok, here's my answer. Holy Cow folks! If they were any cheaper, I'd be paying YOU to purchase them, so I'm sorry but as much as I love you all, just can't discount further. As it stands, these copies are priced at about $10 EACH and are hand signed by Colin. The rock bottom price I'm seeing them for on Amazon at this very moment is $31.47... UNSIGNED. You do the math. They're already a steal. Sorry for this rant but have been a bit taken aback by the number of people asking for an additional price reduction and thought I'd save us all some time by responding here. Thanks to all for your continued support!! |

I know that Steve is VERY busy at the moment. I received an email from him last week advising me that he is swamped right now. I am sure he will get back to you when he has a minute. He always does. |

Nigel and Dwight, I have responded to you both at this time off list but apologize to you here for the delay. Farthest Reaches has been swamped during this holiday season and after all of these years still thankfully remain a one man show. though at times like this it becomes difficult. Thanks to you both for your patience and happy holidays to you ALL! |

I received my book a while ago and I am enjoying it a lot! I am learning so much about these old heroes! I had no idea that Wendy Lawrence's father was a candidate for Mercury. |

Steve, I do understand that there is a lot of work going on at Farthest Reaches with the Christmas holidays and all, but I am still waiting for that international shipping quote for this book. I am afraid you are not getting my emails. |

Phivos, actually has nothing to do with my being busy though I always get jammed up this time of year. I think it's you who aren't getting my emails. I did send the following to you on Wednesday Dec. 2. I did a cut and past here for your benefit but you might want to check to be sure it didn't go into your spam. At any rate, glad we can exchange messages here for now. Here it is: Can do for $35. ($10 + $25). That's using 1st class mail which is the most economical method. If PayPal please send US funds to steve@farthestreaches.com. Thanks in advance. |

Steve, I had no clue you had replied since I never received your email. Checked my spam, no sign of it. Anyway, I have just made payment for the book and cannot wait to get my hands on it! Many thanks and Seasons Greetings to you and everyone on this forum! |

First of all... HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!Now a heads up: All paid orders thus far for this title have now been shipped. If you haven't received yours yet, it's probably in today's mail so give it until this coming week since they're being sent media mail. On the other hand, if your curiosity is getting the best of you, please shoot me an email and ask. I'll check my records to be sure yours is on the way. Lastly, I still have good supply of this reduced priced title. The feedback I'm getting on the ridiculously low price is positive as you can imagine. If interested in obtaining one or more copies, don't hesitate to give me a shout. Thanks to all for your continued support. |

I am in the UK and received my copy today! The 'bullet proof' packaging is very much appreciated Steve. Thanks again, Nigel |
