For me, the year starts on hubcaps, thanks to a very nice gift that made me knowledge...

Indeed, at the sight of my work on the Apollo program who in his own words: "I think you do a great job putting into knowledge of young people the legacy of the past," I received from the Spanish author Carlos Clariván the authorization to distribute its eBook "On Board Apollo Moonships."

And of course, the "audience" of my site can enjoy FREE. There is a PC and Mac version.

I hope you enjoy many.

Sorry, there is only that of electronic versions, but soon a French version is planned.

I'm genuinely surprised there wasn't more feedback regarding your publication. I think it is wonderful and the fantastic illustrations bring out the beauty of the machines. Thank you for taking the time to author and share this.

As an aside I found that reading it in a darkened room brought out the colours and stark contrasts which certainly added to my enjoyment.

Yes... It's an English version.

At the moment, for now, because I'm working on a French version.

(I am not the author of this book, the author name is Carlos Clariván.)

I downloaded it, but am uncertain how I'm supposed to view it. I added it to my iTunes library, but can't find where it's supposed to be (iBooks? - not there either). Some better instructions would be very helpful.

If there isn't a more robust response, this may be one reason why (the images look excellent so I look forward to viewing them in better resolution/format).

The book is not an ebook (iBooks/Kindle/Nook) compatible file. The PC version is an executable file, which when run opens the book in its own reader software.

Fantastic piece of work with incredible illustrations.

Thank you very much for making this available!

(Side note - on a Mac I had to enable permission to successfully run the non-Apple-certified FlipBookMac application.)

This worked fine on my Mac, opened in English and is a beautiful presentation. Many here will know the details but most of the drawings or 3D models for this book are new and not seen before. Very well done!!

Does the Mac file come with its own e-reader software, or do I need to download something else to view the document?
