Librarian’s Note: This “vault” book is replete with reproductions of historical documents, from the texts of speeches to press passes for shuttle launches, postcards, mission docs, and more. Fans of “Launch Magazine” may remember Mark as one of the publishers, and he brings the same focus on quality production values to this collection.

A Space about Books about Space Review
Librarian’s Note: Not released in the U.S. until September. Not necessarily exactly what one might expect from a publisher better known for their automotive repair manuals, it is nevertheless laden with plenty of geek pr0n in the form of schematics, diagrams, tables, etc. The Apollo - Inertial Measuring Unit, Block II Cutaway is a good example, especially having just watched the ‘Navigation Computer’ episode of “Moon Machines”. Now you know what to get your favorite engineer for Christmas.
