Reviews

""Apollo VII-XVII re-frames the Apollo astronauts not just as space heroes, but as ""fantastic photographers"" whose instinctive images redefined how we see Earth and ourselves. The book presents 255 photographs taken by the astronauts, restored in striking detail. More than just historical records, these images have become sacred relics: timeless, intuitive, and essential to how we understand our world from above.""-- ""Wired"" ""Apollo VII-XVII uncovers the rarely seen side of the Apollo missions, a world of candid, improvised, and deeply human images taken by the astronauts themselves. Painstakingly restored and beautifully printed, the book reveals the full emotional and technical range of space exploration.""-- ""TIME"" ""If you're into space exploration, this stunning book is pretty much a must-have. It contains pretty much every legacy Apollo snap in one go, alongside some lesser-known pics that are just as spellbinding.""-- ""BuzzFeed."" ""Not just a space book. Apollo VII-XVII reveals the astronaut as an artist. The authors of Apollo VII-XVII have turned NASA's vast Apollo archive into a curated, beautifully restored experience that redefines these images as cultural touchstones.""-- ""VICE (Motherboard)"" ""Photographing Earth from space was one of the most moving experiences of the mission. It changed how I saw the planet. Taking those photos wasn't easy -- no viewfinder, no second chances, and no way of knowing if they would even turn out. In the essay I wrote for this book, I tried to capture that feeling. And now, seeing the same images so beautifully restored and presented, it brings the experience full circle.""-- ""Walt Cunningham, Apollo 7 astronaut"" ""Thanks to modern restoration techniques, the photographs in Apollo VII-XVII have been brought to stunning clarity, allowing us to revisit the Moon missions with fresh eyes. But these are more than technical achievements or historical records. They are emotional artifacts that preserve the wonder, courage, and fragility of humanity's first steps into the unknown.""-- ""CNN"" ""The images in my head are vivid and permanent, but they can't be shared. No photograph can capture the silence, the scale, the awe. And yet, the photographs in this book come as close as any ever will. They give history context, and they bring the mission back to life.""-- ""Rusty Schweickart, Apollo 9 Lunar Module Pilot"" ""This beautifully produced book is a dramatic evocation of humanity's greatest odyssey, captured in startling color--fiery launches, spacecraft interiors, and the blue Earth rising over lunar plains. A vivid reminder of how far we came in just a decade.""-- ""The Guardian"" ""This is THE book for any lovers of the space program, photography and general interest in space. Incredible collection of images and beautifully curated.""-- ""Benedict Redgrove, NASA Photographer""
