First edition of the author's best-selling fourth book. Octavo, original boards. Signed by Mary Roach on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Keenan. In Packing for Mars, Roach searches for answers to questions about the gross, the bizarre, and the uncomfortable aspects of space travel. The book's sixteen chapters cover the entire comedic spectrum of all things space-related and also include some study of the scientific side of space travel. "Mary Roach is the most entertaining science writer in America. She has given us far more than the Right Stuff. She's given us the funny stuff, the weird stuff, and the human stuff." (A.J. Jacobs).
