This exquisite Easton Press edition presents the autobiography of John Glenn, the legendary astronaut and statesman, in a volume that embodies both historical significance and fine craftsmanship. Signed by Glenn himself, this collectible work offers a personal journey through America’s space age and political landscape, narrated by one of its most iconic figures.
The memoir chronicles Glenn’s remarkable path from his childhood in small-town Ohio to his groundbreaking 1962 orbital flight aboard Friendship 7, which made him the first American to orbit Earth and a national hero. With vivid detail, he recounts his experiences as one of NASA’s original Mercury Seven astronauts, his combat missions as a Marine pilot in two wars, and his later career as a U.S. Senator from Ohio. The narrative culminates with his triumphant return to space at age 77 aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, setting another historic milestone.
Bound in Easton Press’s signature full leather with 22-karat gold accents, gilt-edged pages, and archival-quality paper, this signed edition represents the pinnacle of bookmaking art. The astronaut’s autograph elevates it to a museum-quality piece, ideal for collectors of space memorabilia, American history, or fine signed editions.
