re vandalizing the sky in article apr aio jsc nasa gov mancus sweetpea jsc nasa gov keith mancus writes that s five weeks in a balloon and if anyone can tell me where to get it i sure would like a reply i ve been looking for that book for ten year and never found it note that i am not looking for a collector s item i m hoping that someone has published it in modern times either in paperback or hardcover i m willing to spend or so to get a copy i too am a jules verne collector and can tell you that though tough to find it is out there i keep my eyes open all the time for his books at various bay area used book stores and every once in a while get very lucky you just need diligence i don t know if the book store situation near jsc is as good as the bay area but good luck i have also had excellent luck at the antiquarian book fair which comes to sf every other year though the prices are more in the range than the you want to spend my guess is that if you find it you won t need to spend even that much since most people don t care about it i think i paid about for my dust jacket less but otherwise good condition copy which i found one day at a small bookshop that happened to have just bought a lot of random books at an estate sale of course if you re willing to buy blind you can put a advertisement in the antiquarian bookseller s newsletter the exact title of which escapes me at the moment five weeks in a balloon is not the rarest of jules verne books someone has it for sale somewhere and the ab is the way to find it in fact i would be surprised if you didn t get multiple offers of sale of course that takes the fun out of hunting for it yourself good luck scott new sig under construction scott i chase please be patient sichase csa lbl gov thank you
