The Space Race: A Daily Mirror Book (1961)

This is a really special item. I am absolutely fascinated by this whole era! This is a high-resolution scan of the 1961 book The Space Race (the PDF is 1.7GB).

Here are the front and rear images;


The book is a slightly unusual format (which always makes scanning a challenge), and because of its age and interest, I didn't want to do my usual trick and take it apart to scan it. It's staple-bound, and they always tend to get fiddly over time.

The page size is about 21.5 cm (or 8.5 inches) by 27.6 cm (a little under 11 inches), which is slightly (millimetres) narrower than A4 and a fair bit shorter. 

All the files are available (via the Internet Archive) here.
