Space Exploration Awards

[SPACECADET1983]

Hi! I'm new to this site. I've been a Soviet/Russian Space badge and medal collector for about 8 months. I just wanted to let you know that Omel'ko's book Space Exploration Awards: Catalog, Volume 1: Honorary Badges of Public Organizations and Museums (EVP #A2021666) is now available for $89.00 plus shipping at eastview.com. They also have Volume 2: Honorary Badges and Medals of Russia's Space Industry Enterprises (EVP #799864B) for $119.00 plus shipping. The first book was published in 2002; the second, in 2007. I hope this helps!
