John Young’s spiral-bound “LM Lunar Surface Maps” booklet used in training for the historic Apollo 11 mission, signed on the front cover in black ballpoint, “From my collection, John W. Young.” The booklet, 8.5 x 10.5, contains over 100 pages of lunar surface maps, ranging in scale from 1:5000 to 1:100000, with tabs related to LAM (Landing Area Map), LSM (Lunar Surface Map), and LSE (Lunar Surface Exploration), all of which are designated for Landing Site 3. The front cover bears affixed labels listing “Part No. SKB32100080-371” and date, “18 July 1969,” as well as a central label for “LM Location,” which instructs the landing crew to use the LAM maps to plot the descent track, the LSM maps to locate the landing area, and the LSE maps to locate the landing point; an additional note requests grid coordinates “(CMP confirm location if possible).” In fine condition.
