Norman Mailer, MoonFire, Lunar Rock Edition, No. 1,960 - Reviews
"This is no ordinary coffee-table book. It's one of a new breed of luxury, extremely limited-edition titles in which publishers present pieces of cultural history (sometimes literally, as in the case of the moon rocks), with eye-popping illustrations and new or specially commissioned editorial material. These books marry the obsessions of popular culture with breathtaking photography to create bound works of lasting artistic value."RobbReportCollection.comUnited States |

"Given that just 70 known lunar meteorites have been discovered on earth and only a tiny fraction of these are in private hands, the few that are for sale, are infinitely rarer than gem-grade diamonds. ... it does come with an invitation to dinner in Los Angeles with Buzz Aldrin and the nice book/coffee table shown below. Pop it in the sky lounge of your superyacht and you'll never be short of a talking point."Super Yacht World, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"Unveiled earlier this year by TASCHEN, it's one of the most peculiar product launches of the year. ... This is a true collector's item as there are only 12 copies released... Amazingly, the item comes with a separately packaged piece of lunar rock and a plexiglass-framed print, signed by moon man Buzz Aldrin."Superfuture.com, AmsterdamNetherlands |

"MoonFire captures the most spectacular photography of the journey from the Earth to the Moon. It also includes the epic Norman Mailer non-fiction story that appeared in Life magazine at the time of the landing. A limited edition version is accompanied by a genuine piece of moon rock. You may never become an astronaut - this is the next best thing."AQ Magazine, New YorkUnited 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 |

"No lo parece, pero es un libro. Limitada a 1969 ejemplares repartidos en dos ediciones, la primera fue un éxito absoluto de ventas, agotándose a los pocos días de su presentación. La segunda que consta de 12 copias valoradas a 60.000€ cada una y numeradas del 1958 al 1969 acaba de ponerse a la venta... En ella destaca la espectacularidad del exterior del volumen, proyecto diseñado por Marc Newson e inspirado en el módulo de paseo de la nave espacial que aterrizó en el suelo lunar. No faltan ni siquiera las patas de la Apolo XI."Fuera de Serie, Expansión, MadridSpain |

"Norman Mailer was a man's man, and this 12-piece limited-edition version of 'MoonFire' - which debuted last week at the Miami Basel art fair - is definitely a man's book."Asylum.com, New YorkUnited States |
