Moon rock book 'will be one of most expensive in history'
A book released to mark the 40th anniversary of the Moon landing – complete with a piece of Moon rock in the binding – is to go on sale for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Only 12 copies of the special edition of MoonFire will be available, because of the scarcity of the rock.
The commemorative book is based on accounts of the Apollo 11 mission by Norman Mailer, the US author and space exploration enthusiast who died in 2007.
The extra-large tome features glossy photos of the landing from the archives of Nasa and LIFE magazine and each copy is signed by Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon.
