Description :

APOLLO 14 – THE MOON BOOK – USS New Orleans Prime Recovery Ship. Hardcover. 1971, Allen Publishing (Anaheim, CA). No pagination.

Rare & very hard to find book featuring the crew of the USS New Orleans - formal and informal documentation about the task of recovering the lunar module and getting the crew safely out and home. Lots of candid pictures and intimate details about this seldom seen part of the lunar missions. This is in addition to official photos and info from the mission. Feels very "personal" with writing from commanders and on-ship photographs of the astronauts you won't see elsewhere.

Condition is used - covers show some wear, but the inside is in good condition.
