Softcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Excellent and collectable booklet. I missed it the last time around (I was 10 and had other things on my mind), but hopefully I'll still be around for the 2061. This NASA educational publication was meant to help teachers direct some classroom astronomical activites. Muc…h of the material is not just pertinent to Halley, but other comets as well. The book is in Very Good condition. The covers look great except for some faint discoloration to the front wrapper. The staple binding is in good shape. The interior pages are clean and unmarked. USPS electronic tracking number issued free of charge.
