Another book question
Hey all.
One of the books which keeps being mentioned intermittently is the voluminous /International Reference Guide to Space Launch Systems/; currently in its third (1999) edition. I've encountered a moderately priced s/h copy of the second edition (1995), which is enticing me; after some checking, I found a couple of interesting details. The second edition is listed as 341pp.; the third as 350pp.. Now, whilst I know launch-vehicle development is a little slower than, eg, private car marketing g, three percent growth does seem a little, well, light for four years, and leads me to wonder if the third edition trimmed anything which was previously included - anyone with a decent memory or a decent bookshelf care to comment? The other questions are, of course - is the second edition worth buying, or should I hold out until I can get cash for the third; and is a fourth in the works? -- -Andrew Gray |
