Just a quick question, as GRAIL got me thinking: can anybody here recommend a good, up-to-date atlas of the Moon? Ideally, what I'm looking for is something in the format of the 1969 Times atlas, i.e. not photographic, but laid out something like a terrestrial atlas. I’d also like something that had coverage of the far side as well if possible (if I remember correctly, the 1969 atlas omitted this), and locations of manned and unmanned missions, which really brought the Apollo missions to life for me in the Times atlas when I last saw a copy.

Is the Brunier/Legault edition of a few years ago any good? Rukl’s also looks great, but I've not been able to inspect either at first hand. Neither seem to look very much like the Times atlas on the page, though I could be wrong.

Many thanks for your comments in advance!

Oh, blimey... Time to empty the penny jar!

Many thanks for the recs; these are going on the 'to buy' list. And kudos on your blog, BTW, which does so much to bring space exploration to the attention of the public (and helps to educate interested but physics/geology/astrobiology/science in general-deficient duffers like myself!).
