Have just bought the "Lunar Exploration Scrapbook" by Robert Goodwin (ISBN 978-1894959-69.8) Apogee Books.  This is a great fully illustrated softcover book with illustrations of various proposed and actual US and British moonlanding proposals from the BIS moonlander to the various Apollo derived schemes of the late 60s-early 70s.

Got my copy from Waterstones Astronomy section, but I am sure Amazon can provide.  The illustrations are in the form of computer images and small photos of models and brochures.  The text is sparse allowing for plenty of illustrations. A must have for any what-if spacemodelers.  Use with Mark Wade's Encyclopaedia Astronautica website for a completer picture.

Seems to be available too, for reasonable money and ridiculous money.

Thanks for the heads up - just ordered one from Ebay at a very reasonable price.  :thumbsup:

Mine arrived a couple of days ago. Need to finish reading other things first, but on a flip-through it looks excellent.
