A Christmas Carol
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Bob, with all due respect, I still much prefer the glorious 1938 MGM version with Reginald Owen as Scrooge and Gene Lockhart as Cratchit. He stepped in when Lionel Barrymore, the original choice for the role, injured himself. Others have played the nasty Scrooge as well, but no one approaches the delirious happiness that Owen portrays when the reformed Scrooge awakens. For me, it’s an all-time classic.
Bah Humbug I say, I have to disagree, this is by far the best version of the story. The George C Scott one comes in second. Alister Sim’s portal of the old miser and his reclamation was excellent in my opinion. This has been my favorite Christmas story and one I watch every year. Thanks for the link Bob.
Phil-
Great little tidbit.
Very nice print of the 1938 version:

You are a Great American! My arm-chair Theory on all this, (in general) when there are multiple versions of movies across time, people tend to like the one they first saw. Same I believe, applies to which iteration of Dr. WHO, one tends to favor.
