Amazon has a release date of May 2014. I'll ask around if that book is coming to life or not. |

The book is now scheduled to be available July 4, per an announcement on the National Air and Space Museum's monthly email newsletter. The sole author is Valerie Neal, space history curator, and the title is now shortened from "Space Shuttle Discovery: The Champion of the Space Shuttle Fleet" to "Discovery: Champion of the Space Shuttle Fleet." Number of pages remain the same, and it will be a hardback at $30.00. |
