Signed book: The Astronauts: Pioneers in Space. NY: Golden Press, 1961. Hardcover, 7.5 x 10.5, 92 pages. Signed in blue ballpoint and in black ink on an opening page bearing a full-page photo of all seven astronauts posing with a capsule, all signing with their less common ‘formal’ signatures: “M. Scott Carpenter,” “Leroy G. Cooper, Jr.,” “John H. Glenn, Jr.,” “Virgil I. Grissom,” “Walter M. Schirra,” “Alan B. Shepard, Jr.,” and “Donald K. Slayton.” A notation at the top of the page in an unknown hand reads, “July 27, 1961 Bellenoe CC.” Opposite facing page is also signed in black ballpoint by Donn Eisele, who adds a brief inscription. In very good condition, with partially separated front hinge, some mild toning to signed page as well as other inside pages, scattered wear, rubbing, and surface loss to covers, and some light separation to spine. Accompanied by an unsigned candid glossy of a Redstone rocket taken in June of 1962. A great image enhanced by the astronauts’ full, formal signatures.
