ORIGINAL COLLECTOR’S NOTES ARE INCLUDED. 🍍 NOT INCLUDED... 😃 ABOUT THE BOOK: Verne's 1865 tale of a trip to the moon is (as you'd expect from Verne) great fun, even if bits of it now seem, in retrospect, a little strange. Our rocket ship gets shot out of a cannon? To the moon? Goodness! But in other ways it's full of eerie bits of business that turned out to be very near reality: he had the cost, when you adjust for inflation, almost exactly right. There are other similarities, too. Verne's cannon was named the Columbiad; the Apollo 11 command module was named Columbia. Apollo 11 had a three-person crew, just as Verne's did; and both blasted off from the American state of Florida. Even the return to earth happened in more-or-less the same place. Coincidence -- or fact!? We say you'll have to read this story yourself to judge. CONDITION: Book is in LIKE NEW condition for its age with no discernible flaws (SEE PICS FOR FURTHER DETAILS). NO WRITING FROM PREVIOUS OWNER, NO ATTACHED BOOKPLATES, ETC. It is a GORGEOUS EDITION. SHIPPING: FREE TO U.S. ADDRESSES ONLY. INTERNATIONAL $ based on location. We ship PRIORITY and PACK VERY WELL.
