Moonshots and Snapshots of Project Apollo: A Rare Photographic History
by John Bisney and J.L. Pickering
In this companion volume to John Bisney and J.L. Pickering's extraordinary book of rare photographs from the Mercury and Gemini missions, the authors now present the rest of the Golden Age of U.S. manned space flight with a photographic history of Project Apollo.

Beginning in 1967, Moonshots and Snapshots of Project Apollo chronicles the program's twelve missions and its two follow-ons, Skylab and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. The authors draw from rarely seen NASA, industry, and news media images, taking readers to the Moon, on months-long odysseys above Earth, and finally on the first international manned space flight in 1975.

The book pairs many previously unpublished images from Pickering's unmatched collection of Cold War-era space photographs with extended captions — identifying many NASA, military, and contract workers and participants for the first time — to provide comprehensive background information about the exciting climax and conclusion of the Space Race.

You might want to consider ordering from Amazon.com instead. Even allowing for higher postage charges, you will save money. £35 on Amazon UK, $37 on Amazon.com. And you'll probably get it sooner.

Spoke with the fine folks at UNM Press today and they let me know that "Moonshots" has landed in their warehouse. Based on that info, delivery of pre-orders will most likely be taking place before the posted date of September 15! Actual dates will vary of course, but I will keep you posted.

Received my Project Apollo book early, a few days ago -- it's beautiful. A good size book also... over 9 x 12 inches and just shy of 300 pages. I may have to stay up all night reading it and looking at the photos!

(Ordered via Amazon; I live in Virginia.)

Have just placed my order for this through Wordery.... Just £27.49 including shipping. Bargain.

I purchased the Mercury and Gemini project volume from them with great success.

Today I received my copy of the new Project Apollo photo book from Wordery (£27.00).

Superb. A must for any space enthusiast.
