Though I knew this was coming, it is sad news for us all. In addition to maintaining an amazing inventory of space-related titles, Richard has (and I truly hope and expect will continue to be for many years to come) a trusted source of information, support, and most importantly a friend. Though bittersweet, I encourage everyone to visit his site and browse through the listing to find and order books that interest you. You will no doubt find a few, if not many titles of interest.

Yes, Richard has long had a vast inventory of many very hard to find titles. I personally recommend everyone to take a look. If you want books about space, don't miss browsing through his list. And best of luck to you Richard. All the best from all of us.IP: Logged |

I want to heartily endorse these previous commendations of Mr Richard Jackson. Today I bought 5 books from his sale at fantastic prices--books I've wanted to get for a long time but now realized this may be my last chance to ever find them and buy from a respected and reputable dealer. I started chatting about space books and buying from him back in 1996. He's helped me build up my space library and sold me books I could never find anywhere else. If you haven't cruised his website yet--you're missing out on an excellent opportunity to purchase those hard-to-find books, especially the ones that were published in the 50s-60s-and 70s when the space program was in its infancy. Lots of great books are available that I read when I was a kid and now want to own as memorabilia of my early interest in space flight. Don't miss this golden opportunity!! ------------------

The above comments are 100% correct ...
I have bought hard-to-find SpaceFlight books at his website since 1999 ...
A huge list ... The last book I bought was last September : " Jane's Solar System Log ...
Richard gives a description of each book with a number up to 9 for the condition of each book ...

I updated the catalog December 6, 2003 to include only the books available (1875). There are still good books available, but I will not be accepting order after December 20, 2003.
Thank you. http://usedspacebooks.com/ IP: Logged |

 Is out of business! I am not accepting any orders.
It is now history, a small fly-speck in the collectables.
It has been fun and I hope it served a useful purpose. Thank you, Robert Pearlman for designing the logo. IP: Logged |
