New Lunar Atlas

I recently received my copy of the new 21st Century Atlas of the Moon http://lpod.wikispaces.com/21st+Cent...as+of+the+Moon

Am very impressed not only with the content and layout but also the sturdy build using materials that will last a long time. And the ring binding means that the atlas always lies flat on the desk. Good price too at US$29.95.

Have you looked at the "Virtual Moon Atlas" by Legrand/ Chevalley?
Download or the 10th Anniversary edition is available on CD for 15 euro....
(Takes up less shelf space ;-) )

I have both Ken (well at least the older downloadable vesion of VMA). Both are especially great for public outreach sessions when viewing the Moon but viewers seem to identify more with the paper version.
