'The Taub collection revealed more images from Mercury than I could ever have imagined.'
: Simple answer — there's no duplication! Although many of the photos in"Spaceshots" were also by Bill, his archives have provided completely new material, and a lot of it.: The Mercury section of"Snapshots" was 80 pages total; our new book is more than three times longer. And we cut about 75 additional images we loved, but would have made it too long for most publishers, including Purdue.
. It's true that LIFE magazine featured far more family photos, but Bill was constantly around the astronauts, traveled with them and photographed them"in the office" on a daily basis.: Right. It's his behind-the-scenes opportunities only he had. It's also apparent that the astronauts and others became quite comfortable around him.America's first two astronauts, Gus Grissom and Alan Shepard, are photographed by Bill Taub in 1961.: J.L., you mention LIFE.
