Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

A great tool for young historians and art lovers, Tom Clohosy Cole’s Space Race covers the USSR’s early triumphs of space exploration on one side the USA’s race to the moon on the other, all in beautifully illustrated style.  Space Race is not just a stunning work of art though, as it includes an illustrated fact sheet detailing important breakthroughs in space travel on both sides of the Iron Curtain between 1957 and 1975, making it a fantastic tool for educators as well as a fun way for young historians to explore a defining period of the 20th Century.

If we released a book…

…collecting the best images we’ve posted, would you buy it? I’m talking a well designed book, quality stuff, and for a reasonable price.

It’s something thats been rolling around in my head for a while now, and I just wanted to see what sort of demand there is before I start the tedious process of looking into copyrights, permissions, and whatnot for any non-public-domain images.

Let me know what you think, won’t you?

UPDATE: Though the images will be taken from the public domain (or from gracious astrophotographers with their written permission), all the text will be original and written by me and possibly other contributors to the blog.
