You are quite correct, Philip... As the panorama photo immediately below said illustration shows.  That minor error aside, this is a terrific publication. Well put together, with many photos I had not seen before, including some great shots of the A11 crew in training. There are also some interesting anecdotes from BBC personalities who covered the mission. As an American, I take tremendous pride in the triumph that was Apollo, but it's always fascinating to get non-Americans' perspective on the accomplishment. Last, a hearty thanks to cSer Pete for procuring these and sending them along. It would be a real shame, though, if Sky at Night chose not to distribute this in the US. It's a beautiful and thoughtful publication. |

You will find this edition here stateside. Borders (Tucson, AZ) has it. So it is supposed to be around nationwide. I have 3 copies ($14.99). It is nice to have someone in the "loop".VERY much worth having!!
