Condition and Terms

This book is in great like-new condition and John Glenn’s signature was recently authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA). The JSA sticker has been placed immediately behind the signature for the ease of buyers who do cuts.

We have learned the hard way that there are many fake signatures and autographs on eBay. Moreover, eBay allows sellers of fraudulent autographs to get away with it if it takes you more than 30 days to find out that it is fake and initiate a return.

Authentication by JSA, PSA/DNA or Beckett is the only way to ensure that your autographs are real. These are the Big 3 authenticators, the rest that offer authentication services are highly suspect.

Please see the photographs for the best description of the condition and feel free to ask questions if the photos do not suffice. We are also happy to provide additional photos if needed.

Synopsis

He was the first astronaut to orbit the Earth. Nearly four decades later, as the world's oldest astronaut, his courage riveted a nation. But these two historical events only bracketed a life that covers the sweep of an extraordinary century.

John Glenn's autobiography spans the seminal events of the twentieth century. It is a story that begins with his childhood in Ohio where he learned the importance of family, community, and patriotism. He took these values with him as a marine fighter pilot during World War II and into the skies over Korea, for which he would be decorated. Always a gifted flier, it was during the war that he contemplated the unlimited possibilities of aviation and its frontiers.

We see the early days of NASA, where he first served as a backup pilot for astronauts Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom. In 1962 Glenn piloted the Mercury-Atlas 6 Friendship 7 spacecraft on the first manned orbital mission of the United States. Then came several years in international business, followed by a twenty-four year career as a U.S. Senator-and in 1998 a return to space for his remarkable Discover mission at the age of seventy-seven.
