Vintage 1982 The Space Shuttle Operator’s Manual – First Edition Paperback – Still Sealed

A terrific piece for a space, NASA or aviation collector — and this one is especially nice because it is still sealed in its original shrink wrap.

The Space Shuttle Operator’s Manual was written by Kerry Mark Joels and Gregory P. Kennedy, with design by David Larkin. The book was created as an illustrated, step-by-step guide to operating the Space Shuttle, covering launch, ascent, orbital operations, instruments, the remote manipulator arm, re-entry and landing.

This is the 1982 Ballantine Books edition, ISBN 0-345-30321-0, which is identified as the first edition/first-edition paperback in bibliographic records.

A very cool time capsule from the early Space Shuttle era.
