You may wonder how we received the Gori transcript for Gori’s Journal. And why now?
Recently, I was looking for some old hard drives in one of the many unlabeled boxes in our garage when I saw some files labeled: Gori’s Book/10 Chapters. Hmmm, what is this, I wondered. I retrieved it and started to read. It was transcribed by Sheldan in 1988 on an IBM Selectric typewriter. Yes, before the Internet, which means there were lots of spelling and grammar errors to be edited.
I found the manuscript interesting and unique. It read like a spaceship journal. I scanned and forwarded the manuscript to Miles. He was intrigued. Knowing that Sheldan's health issues keep him from writing further books, we felt that now is the time for PAO to honor Sheldan by publishing this unique journal of Gori's.
We decided to convert Gori’s journal into an e-book and are delighted to be able to share it with our PAO community.
How many of us ever have the chance to read a book about space that is not science fiction?
We invite you to enjoy this unique journal. It is a treasure that cannot be hidden any longer!
