Fine in a near fine dust jacket with a few small closed tears. Books signed by Carpenter are rare. Don Carpenter's Hard Rain Falling is a tough-as-nails account of being down and out but never down for good--a Dostoyevskian tale of crime punishment and the pursuit of an ever-elusive redemption. "Hard Rain Falling is a unique read; violent tender inexorable and melancholic; a beat-era book of disaffected young men devoid of On the Road euphoria but more poignant and gripping for its fatalistic grounding. The small lives contained herein are indelible" Richard Price. Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc hardcover books

Signed on the half-title page by John Glenn Scott Carpenter Wally Schirra Gordon Cooper and comedian Bill Dana aka Jose Jimenez. Jimenez was a fictional character created and performed by comedian Bill Dana on The Steve Allen Show in 1959 and who became increasingly popular during the 1960s and is cited in this volume on several occasions. This character introduced himself with the catch phrase: "My name. Jose Jimenez". The character of Jose Jimenez caught on with the seven real Mercury astronauts and Dana became good friends with them: "Okay Jose you're on your way!" Deke Slayton quipped as Alan Shepard's famous first flight launched. Jose became the program's unofficial mascot and Dana was even made an honorary Mercury astronaut. Coincidentally there was a real test pilot named Bill Dana who flew as high as 59 miles up and qualified for NASA's Astronaut Badge. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. A unique signed example. The first seven American astronauts were an admirable group of individuals chosen to sit at the apex of a pyramid of human effort. In volunteering to entrust their lives to Mercury's spirit and Atlas' strength to blaze a trail for man into the empyrean they chose to lead by following the opportunity that chance circumstance technology and history had prepared for them" Swenson Grimwood & Alexander 164-65.
