The Revised Edition of \u003cem\u003eThe World Is Round\u003c\/em\u003e is particularly sought after because it was updated to incorporate the Apollo program, making it a snapshot of the exact moment humanity had just walked on the Moon and was still processing what that meant. The cover alone — an astronaut standing on the lunar surface with Earth hanging in the black sky — is a piece of period illustration that holds up beautifully. Former library copies carry their own history: this one served East Coweta School from 1971 to 1972, which means it was in a classroom the year after the Moon landing. That's a provenance worth noting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed hardcover — bagged for protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormer library copy: East Coweta School Library stamp, call card, and accession label present on front endpaper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover shows wear and scuffing consistent with age and library use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease review all photos for specific condition details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnthony Ravielli collectors and mid-century science illustration enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace Age and Apollo-era memorabilia collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage children's science book hunters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducators and librarians who appreciate the history of science communication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who grew up with Ravielli's books and wants one back on their shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CTRL+REWIND: Comics, Cards, \u0026 Cartridges","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45271971168342,"sku":"BK-TWR-RAV-HC-1971","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/4462\/2934\/files\/IMG_5658.jpg?v=1783021008","url":"https:\/\/ctrlrewind.com\/es\/products\/the-world-is-round-revised-edition-hardcover-anthony-ravielli-viking-press-c-1971-former-library-copy","provider":"CTRL+REWIND: Comics, Cards, \u0026 Cartridges","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
