Will Gene Kranz sign his book "Failure Is Not An Option" book for me if I send it to the address listed on Collectspace?

Thanks

Stephanie,
He has been happy to in the past if proper return packing & postage was sent. I'd suggest you drop him a note first and ask his permission to send him the book. I bet he'd be happy to oblige.

Thank you. I wasn't sure who would and who wouldn't sign their books. Thank you, I will write him first to make sure.

Thanks!

Q: How can I obtain a signed copy of your book?
A: Handling, signing and mailing of books sent to my home address creates a logistic problem I am unable to solve. For the Hardcover book I have made arrangements with the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston to process signature requests. Paperback signature requests will be processed by Leslie Kriwall at the Barnes & Noble in Webster, Texas. For additional information see "How to obtain books" on the Mission Schedule page.

From the Mission schedule page:
Hardcover Books
The Hardcover Book is currently out of print. The final printing was purchased and will be sold by the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston Texas. The Museum is a non-profit volunteer organization that restores and operates a fleet of 37 World War II aircraft. They receive all profits from hardcover sales.

I sent my soft cover to Gene and he signed and inscribed it to me. The inscription read "To Mike Aim High Gene Kranz".

I sent it to him and and about 2 weeks later it came back to me. I sent it to him about a month ago.

Good luck.

Mike
