Seven Into Space: The Story of the Mercury Astronauts (1960)
Not a lot of illustrations, mostly black and white photos but an amazing cover. It is a book about the Mercury 7 and what they will need to train for spaceflight.

A special gift to a special boy...
This book can still be found in thousands of libraries. It was the first grown-up book that I ever read as a kid.
