The promise of an autographed book from Jeff Koterba drew more than 200 responses from creative readers. There were some themes: Variations on “moon rocks,” “moonwalking,” “air (or no air) guitars,” and song lyrics about space and the moon were popular choices.

“I was surprised by the creativity of the entries,” said Koterba.

Below are some of Koterba's favorites, with an autographed copy of “Inklings” going to Karen Daake of Riverdale, Neb.
