Description: Reaching for the MoonBy Buzz AldrinPaintings by Wendell Minor Offered up here is Reaching for the Moon, written and signed by Apollo 11's Buzz Aldrin. This autobiography for children by the second man on the Moon is presented in a hardcover, first edition and first printing. A Zarelli certificate of authenticity accompanies the book. This is how Aldrin ends his summary at the flap in the front of the Reaching for the Moon: "We all have our own dreams -- this is the story of how mine came true." And so does Aldrin's brilliant tale begins. First Bookshop chased Aldrin across the country for his signature on Reaching for the Moon. We caught him aboard the USS Hornet in Alameda, California. We came across him, too, at the American Airlines C.R. Smth Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. For a celebrity who charged $400 at that time for his signature, Aldrin was worth the effort for his autography on Reaching for the Moon. This book is in like-new condition, although published in 2005. Unread. No flaws. First Bookshop guarantees that the signature is authentic, or your money back. Reaching for the Moon's dust jacket wears an archival, removable cover that protects it from spills and dust. The dust jacket has slight wear along its edges. Comes with photo of Aldrin at the event and the Zarelli certificate of authenticity of his signature. By the way, First Bookshop takes pride in our selection of books signed by astronauts, Mission Control personnel, and pilots galore. Our signed books are from Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Al Shepard, Walter Schirra, Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, Jerry Carr, Michael Collins, Gene Cernan, Frank Borman, Donald "Deke" Slayton, Tom Stafford, Walt Cummingham, Pete Conrad, Charlie Duke, Edgar Mitchell, Jim Irwin, Dave Scott, Harrison "Jack" Schmitt, Eileen Collins, Nicole Stott, Scott Kelly, Al Worden, Bill Pogue, Stuart Roosa, Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, Sy Liebergot, Glynn Lunney, Chris Kraft, Milt Heflin, Gene Kranz, Gerry Griffin, Milton Windler, Dee O'Hara, Guenter Wendt, Wally Funk, Bernice Steadman, and Lawrence Lamb. We also have books signed by top test pilots Chuck Yeager and Scott Crossfield. Happy reading!
