Easton Press Signed First Edition: The Last Man on the Moon Hand-Signed by Eugene Cernan (Factory Sealed)

This entry features a premier historical memoir of space exploration: a Signed First Edition of The Last Man on the Moon: Astronaut Eugene Cernan and America's Race in Space, hand-signed by Apollo 17 Commander and lunar moonwalker Eugene Cernan. Written alongside Donald A. Davis and published in 1999 by The Easton Press as part of their celebrated Signed First Edition series, this deluxe fine-binding volume offers a firsthand chronicle of NASA's historic Apollo lunar program.

As commander of Apollo 17 in December 1972, Cernan became the eleventh human being to walk on the Moon and, upon stepping off the lunar surface, earned the distinction of being the last person to leave footprint tracks on lunar soil. In The Last Man on the Moon, Cernan reflects on his extraordinary naval aviation career, his dangerous early missions during Gemini 9A and Apollo 10, and the profound emotional and psychological impact of exploring the lunar highlands of Taurus-Littrow.

Bound in Easton Press's signature full midnight-black genuine leather, the binding features intricate 22-karat gold-stamped celestial borders with crescent moon and star motifs, along with a gilt facsimile signature on the upper cover. The hubbed spine displays gilt titles, astronomical accents, and the explicit publisher designation "SIGNED EDITION". Crafted to archival standards, the volume features all-edge page block gilding, premium acid-neutral paper, and a sewn-in satin ribbon page marker. Preserved pristine in its original publisher’s factory shrink-wrap, this unopened copy contains Easton Press's bound-in limitation page bearing Eugene Cernan’s authentic signature alongside their official Certificate of Authenticity guarantee. An unblemished, factory-sealed collector's centerpiece, this fine volume stands as an enduring monument to NASA history and lunar exploration.
