Could any of you let me know what the book "I Walk In Space" by Alexei Leonov is like? All I can find on the web is a cover picture.
I was wondering mainly if it was a Russian language publication, and if it contained insights not available in "Two Sides of the Moon".

This is a 1980 Russian publication but in English. It's an 80 page hardback book essentially for pre-teen kids but nicely illustrated by Leonov himself. I bought a copy on Abebooks.com which I'll be having signed as there are not many books in English on Leonov.
The only autobiography I've found is a German book called "Spaziergaenger im All" from 1971.

There is also a 15 page booklet titled "Stepping Out into Space", published by Novosti Press around 1965 (in English). It profiles Pavel Belyayev and Alexei Leonov and is nicely illustrated. Occasionally comes up on eBay.
