Oh this is awesome! I love the conjectural spacecraft that Ley and Von Braun came up with. Did anyone ever see the “The Wonderful World Of Disney” series called “Man In Space?” I think you can find it on DVD.

Sticks says: “Are you not selling this book through Amazon, to assist international subscribers?”

Yes, it’s available through Amazon, but I wouldn’t be able to autograph it

Sorry.

As for sequels, I have several things in the works (Phil isn’t the only one working on a book project!). The closest to production is “The Saucer Fleet”, which will be out the middle of next year. This one will be published by Apogee books, and should be available in both soft cover and hard cover. The premise is just like SSH except that the number of entries is smaller, thus the detail is greater. Subjects include “The Day the Earth Stood Still”, “War of the Worlds” (the George Pal one), “Forbidden Planet”, “Earth vs. the Flying Saucers” and a bunch more. There’s a button for it on the website next to the Spaceship Handbook one.

Longer range, there’s a second edition of this book with updates and re-edits, and a “Volume 2″ with all new subjects.
