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.

This book was wrapped so carefully and in so many layers that it took 5 minutes to open it! It is in beautiful condition, exactly as described and was worth every penny. Considering it shipped from the other side of the country it got here in a reasonable amount of time. Couldn’t be happier!
