Two items: a softcover first edition of Earth Shine by Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 7 x 9, signed and inscribed on the first free end page in black felt tip, "To John & Mary, With Best Wishes, Bill Anders, Apollo 8, Christmas 1970"; and a TLS signed "Valerie & Bill Anders," one page, 7 x 9, National Aeronautics and Space Council, December 21, 1970, in part: "'Earth Shine' by Anne Morrow Lindbergh, was written after she and her husband had lunch with me in the Crew Quarters prior to my light on Apollo 8. Mrs. Lindbergh was able to relate much of the spirit and perspective that I experienced about the mission. On this second anniversary of Apollo 8, we hope you share with us the feeling that this time of year holds. We remember with gratitude the success of the flight, and the prayers and help of those close to us." In fine condition, with light cover wear to the book.
