For the Classic Space theme fans... and probably all LEGO fans in general, this
new book featuring photos and information regarding the Classic Space theme should
be a pretty good addition to your collection...

From the Amazon Pre-order listing description:

"An oversize full-color hardcover volume exploring the birth and early life
of LEGO Space-the iconic toy line that inspired imagination and exploration the
world over!"

A link to a short article about the book:

Ooooh, exciting! This may be worth picking up.

I can't help but notice that the classic space logos are reversed. Hope this
art issue with the cover is fixed before this goes to print.

I have sent an email to Dark Horse Publishing to let them know about this error.
Here's their blog entry with the same cover art.

It seems to me they mirrored the image to have room on the right for the title
and didn’t notice the logo.
They’ll either need to rebuild the scene the other way around to take another
photo… or photoshop the logo.  I’d go with photoshopping

Agreed. Seems like Photoshop would be the most cost effective and fast solution
at this point.

It is a complicated photoshop. They're at all kinds of angles. The simplest
thing to do is reverse the image back and book the title on the other side.

Man, you would think someone at LEGO would be involved in this project and should
have noticed that detail... Hopefully they fix that, seems like they have some
time before release so maybe they aren't printing them all quite yet... Would
have also been cool to get like a Classic Space Minifig with this book, especially
for $50.00.

Hmm, well, I don’t think “someone at LEGO” would be a solution.  Just look at
the errors in official sets

What they need is an obsessive-compulsive AFOL (pleonasm?)

Ouch.  I hadn’t looked at the price.

There's a radio in the foreground but not sure enough is visible to really
tell that it is backwards. Anyone spot other asymmetrical parts?

Could be neat and worth the hefty cost, but not much detail or peek behind the
curtain to make me ready to buy. And it’s carelessness on the flipped image…
what else is wrong inside if they missed something this easy?
