The Apollo 11 moon landing captured the imagination of millions of kids around the world that have dreamed, since then, with a trip to the moon. Now we can all go to our magnificent satellite with this book. With an impressive array of beautiful photographs, both in black and white and in color, Full Moon, allows us to follow the path of the Apollo astronauts, explore the moon's "seas", walk on its surface and see its craters and mountains in vivid detail. The short essays by Andrew Chaikin (The Farthest Place) and Michael Light (The Skin of the Moon) are a well written force on their own. The Notes on the Photographs, precise and informative. But what gives this book its magic, are the images themselves. From cover to cover, from lift-off to moon landing, it is actually like being there, remaking the whole adventure. A Breathtaking Journey! Godspeed!

This is a fantastic book! Who would have thought to use actual NASA negatives, a little photo technology, and presto, create a stunning book of Apollo photos? This is a great addition to anyone's personal library. However, I was slightly dissappointed. It says that the author wanted to avoid the more famous pictures, like the one of Buzz Aldrin on the moon. But why? I think the famous ones need to be seen like you are actually there instead of yellowed fourth and fifth generation duplicates more than the "never-before-published" photos. Other than that small dissapotinment, you ought to get it.

This is a superb pictorial record of man's journey to the moon.

The photographs are simply stunning, detailed, and beautifully bound.

Simply brilliant.
