Summary: A piece of history
Comment: I must admit that I bought this for the CD-Rom at the back, and it was worth it.
I love NASA documentaries from the 1960's and this is no exception.
The historical documents are really interesting to read through and form a great reference.
If you have this book or are thinking of buying it, I strongly recommend the Friendship 7 (John Glenn) book for its CD Rom and video.

Summary: Key installment in this valuable series
Comment: This is one of the key installments in this valuable series. Volume One contains the usual materials--the press kit, the premission report, and the postmission report--but also a transcript of the postmission press conference with the astronauts. And there are eight pages of color pictures inserted. The enclosed CD contains two NASA movies about the flight as well as numerous photographs.
I haven't gotten Volume Two yet, which makes it a little hard to comment. I always particularly like the crew debriefing, which presumably is in that volume. Still, this volume contains some significant information about the most significant event of my lifetime.

Summary: An Important Historical Document
Comment: Once upon a time there was no Internet as we know it. The public got its information from the news media who in turn often got much of their information from press kits. This book and its companion volume are raw, unfiltered and uncommented reprints of the NASA press kits produced to provide background information to the media.
When you see old videotape of Walter Cronkite or Frank Reynolds reporting on the Apollo mission 11 as it happened, chances are an original copy of these press kits is just off camera.
The quality of the type and line drawings are crude by today's standards but that only adds to their charm and historical accuracy.
I bought both volumes as a present for a space-buff friend of mine and I'm sure he'll be thrilled. I read both cover to cover before wrapping them but I didn't want to break the seal on the CD-ROMs so I can't comment on them.
