About this deal

Every effort has gone into each stage of the print process, to ensure the photographs in the book are of the highest quality and accuracy.

This is as close as any of us will get to joining the Apollo astronauts on their historic missions to the moon-and it's a lot closer than we ever thought possible. I can already say with total confidence that this will go down in history as one of the greatest books about the Apollo missions ever published. I’ve just finished the book Apollo Remastered, by Brit Andy Saunders, who went through original scans and worked his digital magic to retrieve the best quality images. Our team is made up of book lovers who are dedicated to sourcing and providing the best books for kids. The results are astounding, and according to the astronauts who were actually there, who took the photographs, they're closer to reality than anything that’s gone before.In less than her lifetime (she died in 1984), she saw America move from the horse and buggy to the moon, which is an astonishing accomplishment. The results are astounding, and according to the astronauts who were actually there, they're closer to reality than anything that's gone before. Here, in this exquisite volume, readers will find amazing visions of earth and space, of astronauts and spacecraft, in new views and portraits. Not only is this a stunning collection, but it’s the best we’ll have until humans make the next trip across the cislunar sea, cameras poised.

The embossed stamp on each photograph is numbered and the artwork is accompanied by a Certificate Of Authenticity which is also stamped, signed and numbered.S.) where it was a top 10 bestseller, and listed in New Scientist’s ‘Best Books Of The Year’ 2022 and TIME Magazine’s ‘Best Photobooks Of The Year’ 2022. Color accuracy is particularly important and difficult to achieve, especially given the amount of greyish tones in the photographs. It quickly went on to become the highest grossing photography book of the last 20 years and the biggest selling book on the Apollo program since records began. Apollo Remastered by Andy Saunders provided me with a masterful pictorial review of my great days serving as a crewman on four lunar missions.

By comparison, printed media ever since the 60s and 70s were produced from duplicate film, or copies of the ‘dupes’; likely via further internegative copies, making them multiple generations away from the original and without the benefit of digital processing. Many panoramic shots, seamlessly stitched together digitally, are presented across two pages, and further gatefold pull-outs are included throughout the book to help better comprehend the scale of the lunar landscape, and portray the stunning vistas witnessed by the Apollo astronauts. The printing process captures nuanced detail no other print process can deliver, giving true continuous tones and an unparalleled depth of color, showing more shadow and highlight detail - perfect for presenting the huge dynamic range witnessed in space. Ha fatto tutto quanto umanamente possibile per tirar fuori da ogni scansione l'immagine migliore, più realistica e più vivida possibile, per collocarla in maniera corretta nel contesto della missione e per attribuire, quando possibile, l'autore corretto, addirittura parlando con gli astronauti Apollo superstiti.Most of the images you’ll have seen from the missions are reproductions of reproductions and have lost a lot of their detail and vibrancy. And who am I to disagree with one of the only twelve humans to actually have an informed opinion on the subject? With all visual content from the Apollo program now sat in archives gathering dust, the world badly needs individuals like Andy who are prepared to go the extra mile to extract the richness from this astonishing material, bringing new life to the old.
