The pages are clean, crisp, unmarked and uncreased. We package all books in custom cardboard book boxes for shipment and ship daily with tracking numbers.; "I found this to be a very interesting and informative account, especially of the pre-NASA NACA, of the formation and early days of NASA, and of the earliest manned missions of the Mercury and Gemini programs. Others have said it skims quickly over the Apollo missions, but I felt this was more a strength than a weakness, as there are hundreds of books on Apollo, but not so many that give such strong and detailed accounts of Mercury and Gemini. Kraft was in a unique position to know the inside stories of these missions and he gives us these stories, while most books skim Mercury and, especially, Gemini, in their rush to get to the moon landings."; 8.8 X 5.9 X 1.1 inches; 371 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard

We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
