The two specials were not AIS originals and copyright clearance to reproduce them was still awaited at time of production. Once this has been secured they will be made available. |

Thanks for the kind words Ed. I found it fun to re-visit the collection as we prepared them for the CD. It was also surprising to see what we managed to include when compiling the Index. Overall it was a great time recalled with very good friends... always much missed.I plan to put the ORBITER issues on CD next year, but it will take a while to scan them all (over 90!!!). In addition there are other titles planned under the ZENIT label so keep watching along with new works only available through the Astro website. ...and keep a look out for more titles from yours truly via Springer over the next few years too. Thanks again for the support and I am pleased we have been able to help you take the opportunity to recall a little bit of nostalgia from sleuthing the Soviets. Enjoy. |
