Norman Mailer. MoonFire: The Epic Journey of Apollo 11 - Reviews
"One rare treat amid this week's 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing is a coffee table book so pricey-and undeniably cool-it can't rest on any piece of plywood from IKEA."DailyBeast.com, New YorkUnited States |
|
"TASCHEN is selling a $1,000 coffee table book collecting (Mailer's) historic work, an ego-boosting price-tag that Mailer would have appreciated."MediaBistro.com, New YorkUnited States |
|
"What's been done with (MoonFire) is something Mailer himself would certainly approve...Instead of a book, it's more of an artifact...If there is ever a book that can be said to boldly go where no book has gone before, MoonFire is it."PublishersPerspectives.com, New YorkUnited States |
|
"MoonFire is the greatest book I have ever seen. The photography is unparalleled, it is more than just a book, it is an experience."David Schonauer, American Photo, New YorkUnited States |

"A Moby-Dick of space . . .the gift of a genius."Julie Baumgold, New York MagazineUnited States |

"This 'More Precious than Gold' edition is part literary, part interactive design, part actual moon rock and 100% amazing. The book, Norman Mailer's "Moonfire" is enclosed in a replica of the Apollo 11 lunar module 'whose surface is an actual 3D topography of the Moon made from a single piece of aluminium,' weighing in at nearly 50 lbs. The moonrock itself is individually packaged, but wait, there's more! TASCHEN is also throwing in a 'heady-to-hang, archival-quality, numbered photographic print' of Buzz Aldrin, signed by the moonwalker himself...But you have to hurry. Even though the moonrocks are going for as much as $766,000 (relax, that's the price of the rarest and largest moonrock ever found) they're quickly selling out."SundanceChannel.com, Park CityUnited States |

"All I can say is, well the word is 'speechless.' I have had a continuous crowd of people, all wanting to look at it. Everyone that is here, including NASA Headquarters, media, KSC employees-all are just amazed. I have been told numerous times to forward on to you how much everyone has enjoyed looking at this book. NBC, CBS, ABC (NY), CNN, CBC, writers, journalists, TV anchors-the list goes on and on."An official at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, FloridaUnited States |

"As a child in the '60s, there is not a single memory that stands out more to me than the landing of Apollo 11 on the moon. The visual impact of this particular day in history has stayed with me ever since, and it has been a dream of mine to conceive a book, or rather a tribute, to this memorable achievement."Benedikt Taschen, in Publisher's Weekly, New YorkUnited States |
|
"On the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, TASCHEN is releasing an art book whose ambition is worthy of the original event itself... If the price is steep, what it offers is nothing short of a family heirloom in the making. Moonfire is a gloriously imposing tome, large enough to require a degree of exertion just to flip it over...As a package, the project is an achievement worth of the subject it celebrates."TheDailyBeast.com, New YorkUnited States |
|
"The epic moonbook is out of this world...Mailer's provocative account remains unsurpassed in defining the epochal event."Irish Independent, DublinIreland |
