In Praise of Technical Writers

On April 13, Bonham's auction house in NYC will be auctioning off a few pages from an old technical manual.
With handwritten notes from Fred Haise and James Lovell

RTFM

Good stuff all around at Bonham's "Space History" sale: link

Better than RTFM: write useful notes on it when the manual doesn't have a blessed thing to offer on your current situation.

I so hope I win the lottery tonight.

BTW what the hell is up with Deke Slayton's Astronaut pin being sold?!?!? Is his family that strapped for cash?

I hope so, too.

Think how much money we could make for the American Cancer Society by auctioning a few of these items at the Windycon art show :-)
