Kansas had only a few years in which its bankers and merchants issued the now-obsolete notes that have become such popular--and rare--collector's items. This heavily illustrated history details Kansas paper bank notes and scrip through 1935. Like the Society of Paper Money Collectors' state catalogs it provides history and listings of specific notes and comments on their rarity, but it is unique in grouping notes and issuers alphabetically according to the economic period in which the notes were issued. Notes are separated into three major categories: municipal governments, merchants, and banks. Appendices examine modern reproductions of obsolete currency, altered notes and write-in scrip, the printers and engravers who created the physical notes, and more.

<p>Gemini 3 The NASA Mission Reports by Steve Whitfield continues the award winning series originally published by Apogee Space Books. The first manned Gemini mission was flown by Virgil "Gus" Grissom and John Young and was an important step towards America moving ahead in the space race. The Gemini spacecraft was the new upgraded "Advanced" two-man vehicle that would allow its crew to live in space comfortably for several days at a time. Launched atop an Air Force Titan missile, the flight of Gemini 3 was a high risk moment in the early hey-days of space exploration. In this book details of this important first flight are collected along with many diagrams and illustrations. COMES WITH A DVD-VIDEO/ROM DISC INCLUDING THREE GEMINI FILMS, HOURS OF GEMINI AUDIO AND RARE DOCUMENTS ABOUT THE FIRST GEMINI MISSIONS!</p>
