I contacted Kalmbach last week. The rumors are nothing more than rumors. A
Czech company has the copyright, and I believe they print a Czech, German
and French version only. There are no new plans for an English version that
they know of. Some enterprising publisher needs to make a deal....
I've seen Rukls on Amazon going for $400! I thought about getting Atlas of
the Lunar Terminator (photo based atlas), but the photos look slightly
better than ones made with a webcam.

Subject: [TAC] moon atlas, bumper stickers and thoughts about both
Rukle's "Atlas of the Moon" is stunning...I thought I had heard a rumour
that it was going to be re-printed....but haven't seen any indication that
it's a go...I'm sure it would sell especially if there is interest in it.
(But I have mine...apparently I ordered it just in time as it went out of
print very shortly after I received it. Whew!)
Mark's "dawn - just say no" brings up a funny thought...a bumper sticker -
astronomers would get the joke. Speaking of which, what astro bumper
stickers have people seen? Or what are some that should be seen? We all
know about "astronomers do it in the dark" and "astronomers do it all night
long", but are there some more astro-related quick quips to bring out a
chuckle or two? (something that would fit on a bumper sticker).
Stacy
You might NOT be an astronomer if you think Uranus is an anatomical feature
rather than a planet.
