This is the one I remember checking out of the library three decades ago and wishing I was that EnerJet guy on page 231 .....

I picked up this tight hardbound copy with a very good dust jacket for $13 including shipping. It's not a former library copy so it has no markings or bent pages and is really in excellent shape for 1976 printing. Took me one week from the date of purchase to arrive in my mailbox from IL to LA, not bad at all.

They have a bunch of other G. Harry Stine books and a couple of 2nd Ed and 3rd Ed copies of the Handbook (I didn't see an original 1967 printing but I may have overlooked it).

If you type "rocketry" in the title search you get 730 hits! If anyone here is interested I thought I would pass this link along:

The best site to use for finding old books is:

http://www.bookfinder.com/

It's like a Google for old books. Abesbooks is included in their search.
