Phil's Moon atlas

Phil brought his copy of Antonin Rukl's Atlas of the Moon to show me. It's a beautiful book. The illustrations are stunning. Tremendous detail, it draws you in. I like the scale near each drawing and the noted diameter in the text.

He bought it used on Amazon for $50. Now they're going to $200...

I wonder why Sky & Tel doesn't reprint it. Maybe they're stockpiling changes. Huh. In fact, there's a new landing site or two to be marked!
