Book Review : Go for Launch - Apogee Books
« on: 10/21/2006 04:10 pm »
Just got it and flipped through it a little bit.   Lot of photos, many are unique or lesser known.  Very interesting.  Thought is was going to be a narrative on the history of the Cape but just a pictorial.  Found some errors.  Will list them later

Try this link for Apogee books:

http://www.cgpublishing.com

They have a small pocket book on Launch vehicles that I think was a missed opportunity. I think it would have made for a fine coffee table book--but the pocket series is a cheap way to get a small personal library on space going.

They had Rocket Space Corp. Energiya in a larger format.
