Is there any sort of guide available showing the numerous Carl Swanson Space Craft Covers out there? At a minimum, does anyone have a page showing the covers for the human spaceflights?

I recommend this book very highly - have just about worn my copy out already! From the Space Unit Website:
Space Craft Covers

A Monograph and Catalog Revised and updated second edition by Charles J. Vukotich, Jr.

Space Craft Covers are considered by many to be the Cadillac of the hobby, covering the "golden age" of space exploration. The first edition of this work has now become a standard reference work on astrophilately and this popular series of covers, and has long been out of print. This long promised second edition is the complete reference book on Space Craft and Swanson designed covers.

The second edition presents many new discoveries not in the first edition, and much new Space Craft lore. The section on non-SCC Swanson covers is also greatly expanded. There are completely new sections on Space Craft Collectibles and Swanson rubber stamp designs. The catalog section is expanded to include information on cancel types (hand or machine).

Prices have been updated to reflect the latest auctions and dealer sales.

82 pages, illustrated. Delux Coil binding for easy use. Cover reproducing an early piece of space art by Carl Swanson in full color.

Price: $30 (postpaid by Priority Mail in US); $35 (by international priority mail)

Order from:
Charles J. Vukotich, Jr.,
635 Ridgefield Avenue,
Pittsburgh, PA 15216-1161
USA

Is this still available? Also, what would the cost be for shipping to the UK?
