"Wingless on Luna" is a book by Neil Armstrong, similar to his lecture at the 25th Wings Club in 1988. Value in very good condition?

How many copies were printed?

ABE Books lists one copy currently available from a book store in Atlanta, Georgia for $3,850.

Lunar Legacies sold a copy for $850 in 2018. There is a presently a copy being offered on eBay UK together with an Armstrong-signed Sieger stamp block for $1,899.

A quick search of Heritage's past sales does not show a copy being sold, so it seems Armstrong's own copy went to his archives at Purdue University, as listed here. (Purdue also has his correspondence with the Wings Club leading up to the speech and the speech papers as delivered.)

There are listings online for other copies held in museum archives and libraries, but I do not see any info as to a total population.

Amazon UK have a copy on offer for £25.78 (just over $32) plus P&P.

It's a "used, very good" paperback with 25 pages and was published on 1 Jan 1988 by Twenty-Fifth Wings Club. I'm not sure of the significance of a note in small print stating that the illustration accompanying the offer is "not the actual book cover."

Have a copy of Armstrong's "Wingless on Luna" book. Good condition with only small bumps to spine. Value?
