More from the publisher:

“Embark on a captivating photographic journey beyond Earth, from the dawn of human space exploration, through the untold story of the Mercury and Gemini missions. Astronauts working on the earliest space missions of the mid-1960s, answered fundamental questions about the possibilities of long-duration space travel, paving the way for the Apollo missions and, ultimately, the Moon landings. They also took the first, and still some of the finest images of Earth ever captured on film.

Now, the bestselling author of Apollo Remastered, Andy Saunders has restored images from these first missions to show them in unprecedented detail and tell their full story, filled with dramatic life or death moments, mischievous pranks and astonishing triumphs. This stunning visual odyssey brings to life the pivotal, intimate moments of early space travel, unveiling the raw beauty and profound challenges faced by the pioneering astronauts pushing the boundaries of human achievement.

Why Pre-order?

Pre-ordering ensures you’ll be one of the first to receive the book when it’s released.

Pre-ordering guarantees you won’t forget the release date and potentially miss out. Apollo Remastered sold out almost instantly and it can take time for a reprint to come online and back into stock (high-end books that are expensive to produce are never ‘over-stocked’).

Pre-ordering makes it near-certain you’ll receive a ‘first printing’ copy. Apollo Remastered has had many reprints in the UK and US, making ‘first edition first printing’ copies highly sought after.

Pre-ordering means you should pay the lowest price possible prior to the release date. Many book stores including Amazon offer a “pre-order price guarantee” which means if you pre-order a book and the price drops, you will get the best price.

If you’d like to gift the pre-order to someone special, you can place your order, then download this gift card to print at home (A4).
