#1 New York Times Bestseller NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
Oscar Nominated For Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay Set amid the civil rights movement, the never-before-told true story of NASA’s African-American female mathematicians who played a crucial role in America’s space program.
Before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of professionals worked as ‘Human Computers’, calculating the flight paths that would enable these historic achievements. Among these were a coterie of bright, talented African-American women. Segregated from their white counterparts, these ‘colored computers’ used pencil and paper to write the equations that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.
Moving from World War II through NASA’s golden age, touching on the civil rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the women’s rights movement, Hidden Figures interweaves a rich history of mankind’s greatest adventure with the intimate stories of five courageous women whose work forever changed the world.

All our books are carefully selected and are in great re-readable condition. They are the kind of books we would love to receive ourselves so you can confidently gift them knowing they are exactly as described. We use actual photos of each book in our listings so you know what you are buying. All books are priced the same, as we believe the value of a book is not in the condition of its cover, but the content of its pages.
CONDITION GUIDE
Excellent– We’re not even sure if it has even been read it looks that good. Great for gifting, but a sad state for a pre-loved book. These books deserve to be read!!
Great – A book that has been read but treated with care.
Loved – These books have been well read and enjoyed maybe more than once. Cover may be dog-eared or corners of pages have been bent.
Vintage – They may be musty, but that’s their charm. There may be evidence of the previous owners (inscriptions in the cover, the odd marking etc), it’s their history that makes them more precious, its all part of their narrative. These books are old and show it – and we love them. Open the cover and breathe it all in.
