Weight: 2 lbs. 2 oz. Neil P. Ruzic, the L age 73, on Tuesday, January 20, 2004. Neil Ruzic, author, publisher, pilot, father and animal lover was a resident of Beverly Shores IN, a small town that blends into the dunes of Lake Michigan, 50 miles east of Chicago. Neil served in the 3rd Armor Division as a tank commander and gunnery instructor during the Korean War. Two of Neil's books, ''The Case for Going to the Moon'' and ''Where the Winds Sleep'' are still compelling. They describe the value a moon base has for human development. The second book develops the architecture for setting up a self-sustaining moon base as a portal for Maritan and planetary exploration. Neil authored 12 books and over 250 articles. Neil was also past president of the National Space Society which he co-founded with Werner von Braun. Neil developed an Island for Science in the Bahamas after Dunn and Bradstreet bought his magazines. His project aimed to create a self-sustaining economy for the Bahamian islanders. A slightly fictionalized account appears in this adventure action book The Shallow Sea. Today the island--"Coco Cay"--is a day trip for many cruise ships. SIGNED & in EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION in all respects!

We are professional booksellers, autograph dealers, and antiquarians (members of the ABAA & ILAB) who began in business in 1969. We pride ourselves on providing books, autographs, art, and artifacts in the Best Available Condition (typically Fine, Very interesting, Scarce, or Unusual items).
Our descriptions strive to be scrupulously accurate. Whenever possible, we detail flaws, include photographs of stock listed (rather than "stock photos"), and provide some background on the authors, creators...
All our books and items are carefully packed. They are usually shipped in Manilla padded-envelopes or sturdy boxes with additional bubble wrap, styrofoam "popcorn," or other protective layers. We strive to ship within 24 hours of receiving orders--allowing extra time for weekends or holidays.
Books shipped within the United States are usually shipped via USPS Media Mail. Postal charges for Media Mail typically run from $3.17 to around $5. When site-posted charges--usually $4.95--exceed actual USPS charges, any overage helps to defray our packaging and shipping costs.
Those books requiring extra-swift transport or -care are often shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Postage charges usually average $13.50 for up to precisely 2 pounds, but rapidly escalate thus possibly making it necessary to contact clients.
Autographs & manuscripts, art & artifacts are usually shipped in stout boxes with padding and reinforcement. Because Media Mail rates do not then apply, we normally use USPS Priority mail, but also ship via UPS and FedEx. Extra charges for insurance are often necessary for valuable items.
Overseas' shipments (as to Europe) weighing with packaging Not more than 2 pounds usually incur postage charges of between $13.50 to $25. Those between 2 - 4 pounds average around $35. Packages of more than 4 pounds usually need to be quoted.
