Book Review: On to Mars 2

Summary - (Wed, 25 Jan 2006) Mars, both God of War and seductive planet. Its reddish hue bathes us in tempestuous delight, stirring our minds and our passions.

Drawing us onto this beckoning delight is a collection of papers, stories and songs compiled by Frank Crossman and Robert Zubrin under the title, On to Mars - Volume 2. Each contributing author adds their own little ray of hope that soon Mars will have been visited by people.

Just wondering why one of Dr Zubrin's earlier books became so expensive via Amazon.com ?
First edition price maybe... anyway On to Mars 2 includes a CD-ROM with a movie of the Mars on Earth project by the MarsSociety

Unmanned Spaceflight books : value for money ...
eBay item 7749179581 : Mariner Mars 1964 Handbook by Robert Van Buren went over US $ 333.00 ... not bad for a 44 year old book

The handbook is also available online for a much more reasonable price here:

I know

But I guess the ' high price ' is a collectors issue...
