I can happily announce that my copy of Ed's awesome book has made it safely to the USA. It is truly a beautiful book Ed. I really like how you incorporated pictures of John Glenn, Charlie Duke and other astronauts with YOUR artwork. Nice job with the packaging as well. |

Ed, I can confirm arrival here in Dyer, Indiana today with the mail just a few short moments ago. I'm reading it on a very cold and icy Northwest Indiana day - and I have to say, it warms one's heart. What a wonderful book! Thank you so much for organizing. |

That would be an idea, as the book is light and in a nice size, curious to see the first flown "Space Art" book on collectSPACE.com |

Ed my copy arrived in Atlanta yesterday in perfect condition thanks to the excellent packaging. Thank you. The first pieces of the Mercury astronauts are beautiful. The likenesses of Shepard, Grissom and Schirra are astounding and they just jump off the page. What terrific skill.Kudos Ed! |

Number 28/50 found it's way to California today. The book is very nicely done. The artwork is represented very well. I also enjoyed reading the stories behind some of the paintings very much.Thanks Ed! |

When I mentioned that a copy had arrived at the launch site I was being a bit dramatic. Actually copy 50/50 (my request) is at home about 12 miles west of Pad 39.Ed, having seen many of these images in posts on cS over the years I was familiar with your work. But the book is awesome! Your attention to detail is way above what I seem to be able to accomplish. This book will have a place of honor among my other "space books." |

Thanks to my international friends for all the kind words about my book. I didn't think it would have such an impact. Reading all the comments makes me feel warm all over.  For me this is a great way to end a very good year. |

Ed, what's the status on the Apollo 14 painting You're working on as seen on the last page of the book? |
