But,my eagerness got the better of me and away I went to the science/astronomy section.

And there it was - waiting for me almost - Homer Newell's tome "Express to the Stars" [1962] .Also, a small book that has some early B&W photos of V-1/V-2 and Viking in it.

On my way out stopped at the stamp section and there they were - another three sheets of various space stamps including topics on Apollo,Russian missions etc. Great !

And,to cap it all off he gave me a whopping
discount of around US$10 on a bill that was only US$40 anyway (I had some other formula books in this as well)

So,twas a good day after all...................
