About This Item
New York, Toronto, London, Sydney And Auckland: Bantam Books. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1999. First Edition; First Printing. 1/4 Cloth. 0553110748 . A handsome first edition/first printing with little edgewear, else Nearly Fine, housed in an equal dust-jacket minimally worn. Book is inscribed by the author on the half-title page; He was the first American astronaut to orbit the Earth. Nearly four decades later, as the world's oldest astronaut, his courage riveted a nation. But these two historic events only bracket a life that covers the sweep of an extraordinary century. In this engrossing book, John Glenn tells the story of his unique life--one lived at the center of a momentous time in history by a man who helped shape that history. He is the kind of hero who resists being called a hero. And yet his exploits in the service of his country, his dedication to family and friends, and his rock-ribbed traditional values have made this small-town boy from the Midwest a true American icon; 8vo; Signed by Author .
