This chronicle of one of the greatest accomplishments mankind has ever achieved is told through the real transcripts of CBS broadcasts during the mission. The transcripts include the communications had between the astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Mike Collins and the Houston Control Center, which – compiled and with introduction by Walter Cronkite, the CBS news anchor at the time, – give the reader not only the facts of the first moon landing, but also awake the genuine memories and emotions of those involved.
Remembering the Moon was set in 16 point Monotype Poliphilus by Michael and Winfred Bixler in Skaneateles, New York. Poliphilus is an early twentieth century facsimile of a face cut for the Venetian printer Aldus Mamutius in 1499. The paper is from the Arches paper mills in France and is both acid free and one-hundred percent rag. The text was printed by Daniel Keleher on a Heidelberg cylinder press at Wild Carrot Letter press in Hadley Massachusetts. The book was handbound by Karl Foulkes at the Spectrum Bindery in Florida, New York.
