Rockets, 1970, "The Papers of Roberts H. Goddard" by Goddard & Pendray, This deluxe, 3 volume hardcover set (1970, First Edition, 1701pp., hard in dust case) contains the compilation of Goddard's papers. There is a printed card taped inside the front page of volume 1 which reads "This three-volume set ….comes to you with the compliments of the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation". There is a Mitchell Sharpe handstamp on the second inside page with a manuscript May 12, 1970 below. Some outer foxing due to the humidity in Huntsville over 40 years, but excellent overall condition. ALSO included in the small 1970 "First Supplemental Number, November 11, 1972" which is seldom available. This is only about the 3rd set of these books this writer has seen in over 30 years. A rare set.
