The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe [FIRST EDITION]

FIRST EDITION / FOURTH PRINTING [1980] FARRAR STRAUS GIROUX

Hardcover with dust jacket.  DJ is in great shape; a few minor edge tears.  Book itself looks and reads like new. 

Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon, but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure; namely, what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space, on the moon, and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this, the inner life of the astronauts, that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny empathetic powers, that made The Right Stuff a classic.
