Synopsis
First published in 1979 to extraordinary acclaim, Tom Wolfe's landmark work became an instant bestseller, going on to sell more than 2.5 million copies. It is a true story that is as exciting as the best fiction--the tale of American heroes Yeager, Conrad, Grissom, and Glenn--men who were willing to put their lives on the line in pursuit of the final frontier. With stunning accuracy and captivating prose, Wolfe recounts the details of the lives of these men, their families, and of NASA's Project Mercury program. The result is a vivid history that could only be enhanced by actual historic photographs. The Right Stuff Illustrated includes hundreds of photographs and reproductions of documents and memorabilia pertaining to the Project Mercury program, the current events surrounding the program, and the political climate that led up to the missions in the early 1960's. It's the perfect gift book for lovers of history and the space program, as well as the millions of fans of The Right Stuff.

    A complete set of disks and chopper attachments for a 13 cup Kitchen Aid food processor (no longer in production). The Seller had a set, I bought it in a perfect transaction. The kit arrived today, exactly as pictured and described -- as well as 3 days early. The merchandise arrived and did NOT smell like it came from a smoker's home (such a positive thing!), carefully boxed and protected with paper inside. I could not have asked for a better Seller to transact with. THANK YOU!

    Shipping was extremely quick and it was new just as it stated. It sounds excellent for the cheap price. It was packaged well and it was new as described by the seller. I would totally recommend this seller and this product first off because the price is right and the seller is super nice and if got to my house in less than a couple days.

    Unfortunately, the recorder didn't work, but it wasn't advertised as working, so I can't complain. Good experience working with the seller though. The package shipped quickly, and I had good communication with him.

  • It IS The Right Stuff!

    Just read Tom Wolfe’s masterpiece and found myself wishing for illustrations. Wish granted! Had I been aware of the existence of this special edition, I would have forgone the e-book. My kids will also enjoy leafing through the plentiful photographs. Many thanks!
