I was enthralled by his Cape Kennedy book - checked it out in 2nd grade from the school library 3 or 4 times in a row. The control room illustrations really got to me somehow - it's a defining moment that stands out in my mind even now. Thanks for posting that! Holy cow!

Lovely drawings. Actually you made me run into the basement and grab a gorgeous book from the mid-80s (got it as a child) from out of my moving boxes. I stumbled over it when moving a few weeks ago and fell in love again: The book is called "around the world in word and pictures". It's a czech book, published by Artia, Prague, written by Blanka Křiklánová and filled with awesome watercolor illustrations by Jiři Kalousek. I'll be posting some photos tomorrow.
