William S. Burroughs supplies a blurb to the back cover of the book: "In Advance of the Landing is a fascinating book that shows with compassionate insight how deeply man's longing for extraplanetary contact is felt. If this is the Space Age, as I have written, and we are 'here to go,' these eccentric individuals may be tuning in, with faulty radios, to a universal message: we must be ready at any time to make the leap into Space."
