The Complete How-to Book of Space (1953)


Discount, William Alan. Illustrated by Cole, L. B. The Complete How-to Book of Space: Rockets, Interplanetary Travel, Spaceships, Jets, Guided Missiles. New York: How-to Books. (96 p.) 24 cm.




Published in the UK as: The Complete Book of Space: Rockets, Interplanetary Travel, Spaceships, Jets, Guided Missiles.




This is another of those space items that is a little hard to describe. It is a play activity book with short factual essays, games, picture puzzles, quizzes and mazes. It has lots of drawings of rockets, space stations, space suits, a Moon landing and planetary surfaces.


Admittedly an unusual selection, it is a great early juvenile space book.
