Space Forum / Space History / April 2004Book Alert: Full Moon
I dropped by Border's book store this afternoon. I walked out with 3 copies of Michael Light's wonderful Full Moon. Superb reproductions of the very best of the Apollo photographs. They cost me $16. That's $16 *total*, $5.33 each. I gladly paid ten times that for my first copy. (This is the full size version. The small version is apparently still in print, since the small version is on the normal shelves, priced at $25.)

A belated thanks for this, Kevin. She-Who found two copies at a local Borders. The price was a little higher -- $7.99 -- but still quite a find. Thanks. >> I dropped by Border's book store this afternoon. I walked out with 3 >> copies of Michael Light's wonderful Full Moon.

I just found it at Borders as well, and they were having one of their buy 2 get one free sales on bargain books. Since I only wanted one copy of Full Moon, I spent some time finding two more (not space related) bargain books. I suspect that that's how Kevin got his three copies for $16 two at $7.99 each and 1 for free! So I got Full Moon for "Free" although I spent about $25 for the other books. > I suspect that that's how Kevin got his three copies for $16 two at $7.99 > each and 1 for free! Yes, that exactly how.

Just got back from our local Border's. Apparently they never got any of the bargain versions, but they did have them on the shelf at cover price. Ah well...

Had the same book on the shelf, but not at the discount price. Wouldn't sell it to me. Which was fine, got back home, found it cheaper locally. :-) > Ah well... > > OM |
