HiI have a copy of this book and can recommend it highly to you. The photographs are breathtaking!
If the size was not a little bit of a problem for an European collector, well I would definitely buy another copy simply to cut the pics and send them to be autographed by the astronauts.. Cheers

I bought this book two years ago and have taken it to Autographica twice to get the attending astronauts to sign it. It is a superb book. One of the best that I have for photographic quality. It really is a must for every space fan. My sister actually visited the Gallery in London which had an exhibition of the prints on show. She said that some of the photographs were 20feet long! She said it was almost like she was stood on the lunar surface when she was viewing these photographs. Wish I could have gone but I had a small baby at the time. Had to make do with the book!Jacqueline |

Full Moon is a work of art. Worth EVERY penny & more. The B&W photos will remind you of the late/great Ansel Adams. Superb resolution, fine grained. BEAUTIFUL!!!! The author was given the unheard of rare access to 1st generation copies of the negatives.------------------
Happy trails,

I went to Borders tonight. My wife was next door at Office Depot. She said I could spend no more than $40. I spent $80. Need I say more? Thanks for the recommendation of a beautiful book.Mike |

Beautiful indeed. Some of my visiting collegues (whom I was not actually trying to impress with my collection at the time) really got into it and wanted to know more. I'll put it on a bookstand in the collection room.Got it for 25$ used, mint too! ------------------

Got my hands on one last weekend.it`s a amazing,stunning collection of photo`s, would like copies to frame but sadly no place to hang them as my allocated hall space is starting to get very compact, although my wife has hinted the garden shed is quite empty, I`m sure she was joking!!. |
