JIM LOVELL
(b. 1928) Astronaut and a retired Navy captain, most famous as the commander of the Apollo 13 mission, which suffered a critical failure en route to the Moon but was brought back safely to Earth by the efforts of the crew and mission control. Scarce signed copy of his book: 'Apollo 13' (New York: Houghton Mifflin Co.), 2000. 378pp. 8vo., previously published as 'Lost Moon', yet republished with a new preface and new pictorial dust jacket, in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of Apollo 13 space mission. Lovell signs on the title page in blue ink. Near fine condition, save for some minor creasing to the corners of the dust jacket.
