Note: I am now offering a 35% discount on all books priced at $100 and over which are inscribed.

I am downsizing and have attempted to sell my collection of autographed books about space as a complete collection. However, I have not been successful in doing that so I am now offering books from this collection individually priced. Many, which are listed AS NEW, were never even read since we had a parallel collection of the same books in many cases.

All of these books include autographed books by or about all of the early astronauts. For example, there are five books signed by John Glenn, four by Scott Carpenter and five by Buzz Aldrin (and yes, one by Mike Collins). Many were signed in person. There are also autographed books published by some astronauts from other countries. This collection represents many years of collecting with the goal of putting together a collection of quality books. Needless to say, quality is king when it comes to pricing such books.

For those interested parties, I will forward an Excel listing of this collection with each item priced.

Note: for those who collect Presidents, I also have a complete collection of Jimmy Carter's autographed books....all 31, mostly as new plus, six books that he signed about him, mostly in person, all 37 for under $2,000.

I have now discounted the prices listed for all books that carry an inscription, done by the astronaut to a specific person (in most cases to Brad or Dave) by 35%!

Also, I have already reduced listed prices for all books that just carry a single autograph from the Mercury through the Skylab era.

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to add to your collection. Many of these astronauts are now deceased so there won't be additional signings in the future. In many cases, the demand for signed books is now exceeding the existing supply.

If you have any question regarding the prices, please refer to a site called Bookfinder.com, which is a composite of all used book sites to see retail prices asked by book sellers today.

Please email me if interested and I will forward this updated list.
