Michael Cassutt's 1986 book Who's Who In Space: The First 25 Years is a collection of narrative biographies and portraits of every astronaut, cosmonaut and international traveler who either had flown in space or was selected to do so within the first quarter century of space exploration.
This copy of his book is signed in-person by 297 space explorers. Of those, 151 were selected after the book was published and have signed on the title and chapter pages.
The autographs of 38 space explorers who passed away prior to signing the book are also mounted by their profiles.
