I'm delighted to see that Gen. Collins has agreed to another signing. I wasn't on the Novaspace email list for the March 2004 event, but this time I'm jumping on the opportunity to have my copy of "Liftoff" signed and personalized.As a Novaspace signing newbie I have a question: should I expect to receive an email confirmation after my book arrives in Tucson? It shipped about a week and a half ago. Kudos to Kim for arranging a signing with my favorite astronaut author. This is a book that will have a special place on my shelves. |

I have sent a few things and I never expected to receive an e-mail confirmation from Nova Space and I never did. I always purchase a delivery confirmation number through the USPS for .45$When the book comes back from Nova Space you will probably have to sign for it but that protects everyone. I had Michael sign my copy of Carrying the Fire last year and I sent him copies of his other 3 books for this signing. Mike Myer

Thanks for the quick reply, Mike. In retrospect, getting a delivery confirmation number would have been the best thing to do. I didn't think of it at the time, but certainly will when I next ship something. Rick |

After dithering for far too long I expressed off Carrying the Fire for Gen. Collins to sign. Looking forward to getting a signature from him that I don't have to worry about.  |

When I spoke to Novaspace they said Gen. Collins was signing last Friday. Still no pics up on their site though. Hope all went well.Mark |

Hi MarkGood to know! I wasn't sure when at the end of June it was. Can't wait to get my item back now! In fact, a report is up! http://www.novaspace.com/AUTO/SIGNINGS/Collins2005.html All the best

I didn't send any items in for this signing, although I had him sign my copy of "Carrying the Fire" last time around. I really enjoyed reading Kim's report and looking at the photos. Even a casual reading of Collins's book makes it obvious that he would be a very interesting conversationalist. What an intelligent man and a great writer! Sorry that he said he didn't have another book in him.------------------

Received my Carrying the Fire back from Novaspace today. Interesting that there's also a flag test for Collins! [This message has been edited by Mark Zimmer (edited July 01, 2005).] |

My copy of Liftoff arrived today. The box looked as if it had been kicked back to Colorado from Novaspace, but the careful packing kept the book flawless. Great job, Kim! |

Got my mine back Friday! Thanks to the great folks at Novaspace, I have three Michael Collins & two John Young autographs . . . autographs I thought I would never ever genuinely obtain!

Received my Collins's back today. Excellent service as with the Young signing. The email confirmations of item arrival and dispatch add a very professional touch to an already exemplary service. |

I just received back my NASA lunar surface photograph neatly and clearly signed by Gen. Collins.It was packed in a plastic sleeve, between 2 cardboard sheets, between 2 thick plastic mailers, and on top of all of this was a sheet of Plexiglas!! Talk about indestructable packing! Many thanks to Kim and Sally for arranging these signings and for the prompt return of my autographed photo.The signings are win-win-win situations (for collectors, the astronauts, and Novaspace). (With Borman and Lovell coming up, any chance of a future Anders signing?) David |

I asked them the same question and received no response. Does that mean something? I doubt it. |

Never count Novaspace out. They have their critics, but they've certainly produced what many felt impossible.------------------

Thanks to Kim and Sally Poor for an exceptional Collins signature on my photos. More importantly, I think Kim just gave us more info on Collins autograph than I have ever seen! What a great wealth of info about this astronaut's signature. I hope someone can make a "resources" link for it on cS. Tahir |

I noticed on my Collins autograph from last year he signed "Mike" but this years autograph is signed "Michael." Anyone else have this same difference. Was there a reason he changed or did he sign certain ways on specific items? |

Gen Collins signed my item "Michael Collins" as well. My inscription is "to Michael.." so I figured that's why he signed his full name. |

I requested "Michael" and got "Michael" - and very nicely too on my two completion items!
Another outstanding Novaspace event. Can't wait to get my Borman items out.Paul Bramley

Yeah, I know he sometimes signs Mike so I specifically requested Michael on the book (to match the author statement). He complied. |

I may be wrong here but I recall seeing somewhere that Kim asked Mike to sign everything "Michael" unless otherwise requested. It worked out fine for me.............Regards, Rick. |
