Collector’s Guide Publishing, 2010. 320 pages.

 

This is a hard evaluation. I don’t want to knock the book down so people won’t give it a look, because it is definitely worthy of a look. But . . .

All the important information in this book is contained in its photographs. Judging by the captions, there is a lot in here with which I am not familiar. And that is the rub.

I’d sure like to see those photos.

This book is simply of too small a format to give the very many illustrations the size that would do them justice. Plus the book’s paper is not coated stock, hence the ink is sucked into the fibers and bleeds leading to very unreadable virtually blurry photographs.

I sincerely hope the author can find a suitable publisher who will give these photographs the treatment they deserve: larger format, coated glossy stock. I would gladly pay twice its cost if I could see the photographs.

Gemini (Space in Miniature, Number 2)

By Michael Eastman and Michael J. Mackowski

Space in Miniature, 1990. 36 pages.

 I got what I expected.

The overprice is because of the publication’s rarity and not based on an expansive and detailed presentation of the spacecraft’s physical details.

Designed for modelers, it touches all the bases. If you are building a Gemini capsule, this should be about all the info you need. You will have to balance cost vs. value.
