Brian.. Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I love those old cut-out and press-out space books from the fifties. This is one that's been on my wish list for quite a while. I am ... a Space Ship Pilot is a press-out book with an unusual feature. You construct a spaceship control room window and then view a variety of space scenes through it. There are a couple of space backgrounds and a few pages of satellites, astronauts and such like. Made by Raphael Tuck, a well known creator of novelty children's books in the UK. A fascinating piece of space history. This one is a salesman's sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 That's a beautiful collectible Brian, really evokes the early era of space travel. Kinda reminds me of Han Solo's ship, makes you think... where did Lucas get the idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
