===''Of a Fire on the Moon''. Boston: Little, Brown, 11 January; London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 3 September, with a different title: ''A Fire on the Moon''. Nonfiction narrative, 472 pp., $7.95.=== | |||
Dedication: “For [[Susan Mailer|Susan]], for [[Danielle Mailer|Dandy]], for {{sic|Betsey|expected=Betsy Mailer}} and [[Kate Mailer|Kate]], for [[Michael Mailer|Michael]] and [[Stephen Mailer]].” Because both the American and British editions carry a 1970 copyright date, and advance excerpts appeared in 1969 and 1970, there has been confusion about the precedence of these editions, and the actual dates of publication, which are as stated above. Nominated for the National Book Award in the sciences category. Rpt: {{NM}}’s three-part series in ''Life'' on the 1969 moon shot ([[69.81]], [[69.83]], [[70.1]]) was incorporated, with major revisions, into ''Of a Fire on the Moon''; [[98.7]] (partial). See [[69.34]], [[72.7]]. | Dedication: “For [[Susan Mailer|Susan]], for [[Danielle Mailer|Dandy]], for {{sic|Betsey|expected=Betsy Mailer}} and [[Kate Mailer|Kate]], for [[Michael Mailer|Michael]] and [[Stephen Mailer]].” Because both the American and British editions carry a 1970 copyright date, and advance excerpts appeared in 1969 and 1970, there has been confusion about the precedence of these editions, and the actual dates of publication, which are as stated above.
