Gee.  Is the set you have still available anywhere?  Does NASA sell
it?

By the way, in reviewing this set, I was reminded that one slide has
the caption "Lunar Module prepares to descend to Moon's surface" or
something like that.  It's a stereo shot of the LM, but the surface in
the background is clearly Earth ... water, clouds, etc.  This must be
a shot from another flight which got stuck in there.
