For All Mankind.

First edition of this comprehensive account of the NASA Apollo moon missions. Octavo, original half-cloth, illustrated with photographs. Presentation copy, inscribed by Alan Shepard on the title page, "To LK and Bill - Alan Shepard." Alan Shepard was one of NASA’s Mercury Seven—the first group of American astronauts selected in 1959 for Project Mercury, the United States’ inaugural human spaceflight program. As a member of this elite cadre of military test pilots, he helped shape the early standards of astronaut training and public representation, and he went on to become the first American in space with the Freedom 7 flight in 1961. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Interviews by Al Reinert. Jacket design by Keith Sheridan.
