Description

Yearly review book signed by 1969’s most recognizable name

Signed book: The 1970 World Book Year Book. Chicago: Field Enterprises Educational Corporation, 1970. Hardcover, 7.5 x 10, 628 pages. Signed on page 68 in black felt tip, “Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11.” Opposite page bears an affixed letter of provenance from the original recipient, in full: “In the early 1970’s my late husband, Frank M. Cudd, flew with the Special Air Missions Sqdn. at Andrew’s Air Force Base, Maryland. On one of his trips, Astronaut, Neil Armstrong, was a space available passenger on an overseas flight, and I sent this encyclopedia along, hoping there would be a a discrete moment to get Mr. Armstrong’s signature. They returned to Andrews AFB on March 19, 1971. I went out to meet the plane, to pick up my husband, and was privileged to meet both Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong.” In fine condition. Pre-certified Zarelli Space Authentication.
