MEBAY: "Space Frontiers," "Shuttle/Comet," "Secrets of Space"

Okay, I've got three more bits up for sci.space.* auction. This auction
is like the last one... send me an e-mail with your bid, I'll let you
know if you're in the lead. If the winning bidder rats out and doesn't
pay up (like happened on one lot the last time), the runner up gets it.
Bidding ends at 6 PM (PAcific time) next Saturday evening (Oct 15). I
take checks and PayPal, and if you're really trusting of the postal
system, cash. Please note that due to spam issues, you'll need to trim
the reply-to address a little. Buyer pays shipping.

This is a hardbound book (no dustjacket) that covers the basics of the
how and *why* of space travel. It's a spiffy book that shows one method
of sizing launch vehicles and spacecraft... chapters on chemical
rockets, advanced propulsion, staging, in-space refueling, life in
space. It's a good early sixties book for primilinary vehicle
performance and sizing, as well for the "philosophy" of spaceflight and
aview of the future of man in space.

Last up is a lot of "Space Frontiers" magazines from the late 1980s.
These magazines were editted and published by Ted Talay, then an
engineer at NASA-Langley, and were generally 20 pages long. Well
illustrated (B&W) with modelers in mind. Also provided information on
currentl launches and relevant publications. "Space Frontiers" was a
small but beloved publication, and was an inspiration for the original
"Quest" space history magazine, as well as for "Aerospace Projects
review." Up for auction are Mar-April 87, May-June 87, Jul-Aug 87,
Oct-Nov 87, Jan-Feb 88, Ap-May 88, Jul-Aug 88, Oct-Nov 88, Jan-Feb 89,
July-aug 89, Sept-Oct 89. Topics included such things as German WWII
space launchers, the Collier's series, the Delta II, and several
reusable and expendable private enterprise alunch vehicles under
development at the time. These are the original magazines, not copies,
and are in good shape. They can bee seen (and are being seen) at:
