Entering Space An Astronaut's Odyssey by J. Allen SIGNED First Edition 1984 NASA

Joe Allen inscribed this book to a neighbor of his in Nassau Bay, Texas.  The book is full of gorgeous, colorful photos.  Many astronaut biographies are primarily text with select photos.  Allen's is the opposite and focuses on large and amazing photos related to his astronaut experience with accompanying text.

Book is in Good condition with general wear, shelf wear, and dark blue covers have sun fading on edges.  Covers and pages are square, clean, bright, and unmarked except for author's signature.  Photos in book are beautiful.  Binding is sound.  Dust jacket has a fair amount of wear with many scratches from the book sliding on something rough, age toned spine, edge wear, shelf wear, small tears, and creases.   Please see pictures as they are considered part of the condition description.  I take numerous photos of the actual item and describe it as accurately as I can so you don't have to risk your buying decision on stock photos and generic condition descriptions.

A portion of this sale goes to a food bank in honor of my father-in-law who ran a food bank.  Many people experience hunger on a regular basis and they rely on food banks.  Thank you for supporting them with your purchase.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: If you are unhappy with any aspect of this transaction, please contact me immediately. I will work hard to keep buyers happy and to resolve the rare problem promptly. 

QUALITY PACKAGING: I care about your purchase!  I package books and DVDs protected in plastic sleeves for water protection and wrapped carefully for safe and secure shipping.  There are cheaper, easier, and faster ways to package items for shipping but the risk of damage during shipment is not worth it for you or me.  I’m proud of the positive feedback I have received related to packaging.  

USPS MEDIA MAIL: I ship books and DVDs by USPS media mail.  Media mail is generally reasonably fast, but can rarely take up to 8 days, so please be patient.  Shipping outside of the U.S. is handled by the eBay Global Shipping program.  I ship to the eBay international shipping clearing house in Kentucky and eBay takes it from there.  eBay adds on the extra cost for international shipping and I have no control over that cost or how long it takes.  eBay should give you a shipping estimate/total on the listing page for your particular order.  

POSITIVE FEEDBACK: If you believe you would be happy to purchase something from me again in the future, please consider leaving me positive feedback for this purchase as it really helps small eBay sellers like me.  I leave feedback for buyers once they have posted feedback for me – let’s do this together!

Enjoy!
