Hansen’s “US Nuclear Weapons: The Secret History” is particularly nice. Contact with ridiculously generous bribes if you’re prefer not to wait:
Some stuff I plan on putting on ebay… Star Trek ships, phasers, German/Japanese WWI aircraft & nuclear weapons books. If you want something but don't want to wait… I take bribes. pic.twitter.com/JKuW6vvd3u

by Dennis R. Jenkins, 2017. The definitive and *massive* description of the Space Shuttle program in three hardcover volumes in a slipcase, still wrapped in the original plastic. Mint condition. Now out of print; my understanding is that when Specialty Press went out of business the remaining stock of these books was destroyed.
These three volumes include more than 1,500 pages. It is a massive brick of narrative, photos (B&W and full color), diagrams, art and data; anyone with interest in the Space Transportation System should have a copy.
But not on ebay yet. If any of these are of interest, let me know.
Getting ready to sell a batch of stuff on ebay. But before I do… anyone hereabouts interested? If so, email/DM. A short thread of some stuff. First: a lot of three Matchbox toys… the SpaceX Dragon capsule the SpaceX Starship and the Sierra Nevada Dream Chaser. pic.twitter.com/oxwHtTQm1l

Thanks to ebay and my fabulously lean bank account, I have recently procured a number of items of potential interest:
“NASA Earth Orbital Space Station,” a poster-sized lithograph from McDonnell Douglas depicting a space station that tumbles for artificial-G.
“Re-Entry Payload Launch Vehicle,” A *brief* General Dynamics presentation on a vehicle to launch re-entry vehicles such as MIRV warhead shapes
“Proposed Development Program on Rocket-Type Missiles,” a 1948 Convair report on early ballistic/boost glide missile concepts, that would lead to Atlas. Includes some fantastic large format layout diagrams.
“Detail Specification for Consolidated Vultee Model 117 Airplane Class VR Transport Flying Boat,” August 1950, all the details on the then-brand new Tradewind.
“Detail Specification for Class VP Long Range Patrol Seaplane,” Consolidated Vultee 1946, all the details on a proposed flying boat patrol/bomber
32 issues of “Astronautics” magazine from 1957 to 1969, mostly 57-59 and 63 or so.
The lithograph and the reports will be scanned and put forward for consideration for monthly rewards; the magazines will have the interesting bits scanned and made available to the subscribers/patrons.
I put one copy of each of my current books on ebay. They’re all in brand-new condition, and will be signed/dated when sold. They also come with bonus 18X24-inch prints… the “SR-71” book has two prints of the SR-71, the “B-47/B-52” book has one B-47 diagram and two B-52 diagrams; “US Supersonic Bomber Projects Vol. 1” has two B-70 Valkyrie diagrams. Take a look…
I have a *pile* of books to sell; the first of them are now on ebay. More will be added as I get around to it…
It’s time to post my first batch of cyanotypes to ebay. But I ran into a conundrum… how should I categorize them? I started entering the first one, the Sat Ib, as “collectible-historical memorabilia-astronauts & space travel-etc” but then I realized that these were made by me over the last few weeks. The *sources* for the blueprints are of course historical, but the actual items themselves are brand new, hand made “art” items. Suggestions?
