I wonder why there has been a slowdown in titles from Apogee Prime's Mission Report series? I would love to see them cover Skylab and the rest of the Mercury and Gemini missions.

I know that Gemini 3 is supposed to be coming soon, but it just seems like the books are not coming out as frequently as they used to.

Probably because the entire printed book industry has gone through a slowdown of late. The economy is part of it, but there are plenty of other factors as well (e-readers for one).

Space books have also never commanded the sales figures of other genres. At least Apogee is still printing in any event while a couple other companies (such as Specialty Press) have gone by the wayside, or at least into hibernation mode.
