Books and Publications below! Offering to cS community before posting on eBay/locally! Comment here and/or drop me an e-mail with any questions, interest, or offers! Scans available to those interested. All proceeds go to support the nonprofit Space Talk venue and library that we're slowly but surely working towards.

Asking prices include U.S. Shipping, extra for International. I accept check, money order, PayPal, or Venmo and can support a local meetup if you're in the Los Angeles, CA area. Items all from the collection of a JPL Spacecraft Mechatronics Engineer and include COA if available (in some cases from original auction house)

The below publications includes history and information about a number of the early programs -- Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and the Popular Mechanics is a wonderful 1959 overview of the developments in space exploration up to that point. Robert has an excellent summary post on cS about the NASA SPs and their history.

I'm open to offers as well as trades -- looking for other NASA SP's and some EP's and TM's, other early space exploration books and documents, and artifacts/historical documents from early robotic missions. I can provide a list of some specifics if you're interested in a trade.

Thanks all for checking these out! Check out my other non-publication post as well. Will consider combining across lists if interested.
