Absolutely gorgeous photos and illustrations accompanied by well written text to cover covering the road to the first manned moon landings and beyond. Not only does this show the final iteration of each of the pieces to the Apollo project, but a lot of the steps in between, showing many of the development paths attempted to get there.

While it contained a wealth of technical information using clear illustrations and comprehensible language, the one slight disappointment for me (especially considering it was billed as a Haynes Workshop Manual) was that it didn’t get down to the level where it would tell me how to troubleshoot problems and what tools to use and steps to take to swap out modules. But I reluctantly admit that would take a large collection of books and that my expectations might be considered a bit unrealistic. Still...

I am a firm believer in the proposition that a car is not really finished until I can buy the Haynes Manual. Somebody in England decided to put this out for the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 and the company had the staff to go to town with the idea. Great! Complete mind rot!

A really interesting history of the Apollo program, with lots of fascinating technological details for the space geeks.

It made a great XMAS gift. I had to import it from Britain.
