This was one of my best buys on Amazon. I first saw this advertised in Restoration Hardware for $1,000, of course it was less on Amazon($800) and now a collector's item since only 1,969 were issued with this limited edtion.

I got this book from Amazon (and was thrilled to get a copy as high up as number 216!) because I wanted my kids to have a way of remembering one of mankind's greatest accomplishments.
