First on the Moon is the official narrative of the Apollo 11 mission, told from the firsthand perspectives of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. Written in collaboration with Life magazine journalists Gene Farmer and Dora Jane Hamblin, the book traces the full arc of the lunar mission—from early planning and training through launch, landing, and return—while capturing the emotional and human dimensions of the journey. Illustrated with striking black-and-white photographs and concluding with an epilogue by Arthur C. Clarke, it remains one of the definitive contemporary accounts of humanity’s first steps on the Moon.…

Store description
My late wife and I spent a lot of time accumulating books, especially during COVID. With her gone, the books are a reminder of her. Hence, it's time for me to Turn the Page. Update: Please note I have recently moved to New Mexico (September 2026) where our chihuahua, Pedro, will no longer have to slog through snow and ice - the state where my beloved wife and his mommy lived before we met. Thank you for all your orders since opening this storefront!
