Space Art, "Typhoon" Lithograph by Alexei Leonov (38.5x27.5"). This limited edition lithograph (No. 25/1,000) is one of the classics of space art. Depicting a typhoon/tornado/hurricane as seen from space during the artist's Vostok flight, this print is a classic among space art. Like the art of Alan Bean, the art of Alexei Leonov is made more realistic by the artist's having flown in space. Leonov is the foremost artist of space art in Russia. Minor edge bends should not detract.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.

Space Literature, "Easton Press" Signed Limited Editions. Lot of six different leather-bound, limited edition, gold-edged special printings of famous space books. Each one is hand-signed by the authors and, we assume, that each one has an Easton Press hand-signed certificate of authenticity included (all but "We Seven" are still unopened and sealed with their original shrink wrap, so we can't check). Included are "We Seven", signed by John Glenn, Scott Carpinter and Gordon Cooper (#659/3,000, 352pp., 1996 with three separate certificates), "Men from Earth" by Buzz Aldrin, "Countdown" by Frank Borman, "Lost Moon" by James Lovell, "Schirra's Space" by Wally Schirra and "Moon Shot" by Alan Shepard & Deke Slayton. All are in pristine, and as we said, except for the copy of "We Seven" in unopened condition. A great addition to any collection.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,000.
Ex. the Donald "Deke" Slayton Estate collection.
