Boston: Little, Brown and Company. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 1934. First Edition. Hardcover. [very nice copy, light shelfwear, a trace of foxing on fore-edge, bookplate on front pastedown; the jacket is remarkably clean and well-preserved, with some minor wear along the top and bottom edges, slight browning to spine, and one tiny nick mid-spine]. A beautiful copy of the author's first book, SIGNED by him directly beneath his printed signature on the title page, and just above one of illustrator Robert Lawson's drawings of the title character.

London: Faber and Faber, 1983. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition. Oblong octavo (9.75" x 10.5"); 128pp.; blue textured-paper boards, in dust jacket. Signed by both Hughes and Keen on the title page, and inscribed at length on the ffep by English fly fishing expert Dermot Wilson. Edges of boards faintly dust soiled, else about fine in a very good plus, price-clipped jacket, moderately toned and with some light crumpling along the top edges. Hughes and Keen met in 1976 at the suggestion of Hughes' second wife Carol, and quickly bonded over their shared love of fishing. Though conceived as a collaborative project soon after, according to Hughes scholar Ann Skea, the publication of "River" was delayed by several years as their agent worked to find a publisher willing to commit to high-quality color reproductions. Faber eventually brought the book out in an edition of 2,500 hardcover and 15,000 paperback copies, with Hughes' poems on the verso and…

Description:
A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. Inscribed "To Chuck, Alan Shepard" on titlepage. On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, and the space race was born. Desperate to beat the Russians into space, NASA put together a crew of the nation's most daring test pilots: the seven men who were to lead America to the moon. The first into space was Alan Shepard; the last was Deke Slayton, whose irregular heartbeat kept him grounded until 1975. They spent the 1960s at the forefront of NASA's effort to conquer space, and Moon Shot is their inside account of what many call the twentieth century's greatest feat—landing humans on another world. Collaborating with NBC's veteran space reporter Jay Barbree, Shepard and Slayton narrate in gripping detail the story of America's space exploration from the time of Shepard's first flight until he and eleven others had walked on the moon.

On that same day, a brilliant mathematician is locked away inside a Moscow prison that houses the country's brightest minds.
