"P.S. I LISTENED TO YOUR HEART BEAT" LETTERS TO JOHN GLENN FIRST EDITION 1964

Published by World Book Encyclopedia Science Service, Inc and distributed by Doubleday and Co., 1964

"I LISTENED TO YOUR HEART BEAT"- one postscript, in one letter, from one young girl, but it says volumes about the nearly a quarter of a million letters John Glenn has received since his orbital flight on February 20, 1962. It also says volumes about John Glenn's own reaction to this deluge of mail. Gwendolyn was not the only one. Nearly everyone in America and in all the nations of the world "listened to John Glenn's heart beat" on that eventful day. Here are 422 excerpts from John Glenn's morning mail, plus his comments. Here you may listen to the hearts of nations beat, and get to know better a truly amazing human being.” - Publisher
