Old space and rocket book that's new to me in the mailbox today.
Book is almost as old as I am.
And ohh I would love 1/144 scale plastic model kits of those rockets on the cover ...
With nicely rendered miniatures of the astronaut figures shown ...
It has 2 groupings of images with maybe 2 or 4 color plates of rockets & a number of astronomical images in B&W.
{EDIT: missed the 1s, make that 12 to 14 color plates}
Was hoping it would have more images of rocket ideas of the period, be they color, B&W, line drawing, but forgot to ask the seller.
It was there and in my price bracket so I bought it immediately after finding it while doing a reverse image search of the cover art posted on a Tumblr blog.
And I was sick at the time, so call it shopping therapy.
That and the antibiotics do seem to be helping.
