Andy astronaut

By Daphne Davis. New York: Golden Press, c1968.

One of the Golden Busy People Book series published in 1968 for children, this volume shows what an astronaut experiences in training, testing, and the launch and recovery process. As expected with this type of book, it has been well-used and needs some preservation care. Unlike most Golden Book publications, this book measures 16 inches tall and 6½ inches wide. 

Condition and Treatment: 

Tall-format children's book. Loss of binding bookcloth at the spine. Several tears to pages. Conservators will repair spine with toned Japanese paper, repair tears, and create a custom enclosure for this fragile item.
