This is so dorky, such an unnecessary purchase, not even exciting, but somehow really cool.

Really?
I've seen enough of these in my time.
Yes they are cute, but a kick starter to do this. And $80 seems a lot for a book these days.

And who owns the copyright?
I would presume it's actually NASA

Anyway, anyone want the equivalent design books for the 2000 Olympics?
Two books each about 2cm thick.

Yeah, this is more for graphic design geeks than space cadets. I *might* be bothered to read this whole thing if it was published for free on a website.

Let's face it, the NASA logo rocked.
But it's not like it's been lost forever.

RWA - I'll dig and see where they are hiding and I'll get back to you.
