Because I promise you that I'll ALWAYS run this stuff by you guys first :)



1951 Children's Book "You And Space Travel" -$5 at Etsy.com

This book has some of the most incredibly awesome retro "Atom Age" illustrations I've ever seen... this is the style and design that DEFINE "Retro" in my mind :)





1961 "Let's Go To A Rocket Base" -$5 at Etsy.com

Beautifully paranoid, this book starts out with something along the lines of "Of course you would never try to go to a Rocket Base because if you did we'd have to assume you're a Commie and shoot you on principle, but if you ever *did* get to go to a Rocket Base here's what it would be like" and then these two kids go on a kind of surreal. disembodied dream-trip to a Rocket Base where they get all sorts of information that Kuschev would kill for :)




1968 "Astronautics" - $5 on Etsy

This is a great "Space Race" book full of what was in 1968 all the latest technical speculation of launching an American in to Outer Space. Great 1960's pictures of space :)

I have other stuff listed as well, lots of science engineering books... but these are the ones I wanted to share right now :)

Me too... putting up another batch of vintage stuff this weekend including a bunch of 1940's and 1950's magazines. I can't ever pass them up when I see them!
