On the shelf #3

Here is the third installation of my semi-occasional feature cleverly dubbed “On the Shelf.” Going column by column, I’m working my way bottom to top, left to right until I’ve cataloged my entire library, or lose interest, whichever comes first. Part one can be viewed here, and part two here. Today’s installment examines the contents of the third-from-the-bottom, leftmost shelf, which you can see above the telescope here:

• High Frontier by Gen. David Graham
  
  
• Spaceflight: A Smithsonian Guide by Valerie Neal, Cathleen S. Lewis and Frank H. Winter
  
  
• The Pictoral History of World Spacecraft by Bill Yenne
  
  
• Space by Anthony Feldman
  
  
• Islands in the Sky eds. Stanley Schmidt and Robert Zubrin
  
  
• Space Sailing by Jerome L. Wright
  
  
• The New Astronomies by Ben Bova
  
  
• Interstellar Travel by John W. MacVey
  
  
• Edwin Hubble by Gale E. Christianson
  
  
• Chariots for Apollo by Charles R. Pelegrino and Joshua Stoff
  
  
• Yeager by Gen. Chuck Yeager and Leo Janos
  
  
• Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8 by Robert Zimmerman
  
  
• Men of Space, vol. 3 by Shirley Thomas
  
  
• John Glenn: A Memoir by John Glenn with Nick Taylor
  
  
• Schirra’s Space by Walter M. Schirra Jr. with Richard N. Billings
  
  
• The Difference Engine by Doron Swade

Whew! Lots of books on that shelf. Lots of space and astronaut biographies as well. Someday, I’d like to track down the entire run of Shirley Thomas’ Men of Space series, but I have no idea where I’d find room for them all. Onward and upward!
