Stephan Just curious Stephan, did you bought your second GAotS for you ?

Dave, What you describe above is part of what I love about printed atlases. The tactile element; the personal contact with the charts themselves, the handling of the different volumes - these are benefits of printed atlases to me!

Same here. I like it when friends and acquaintances come over and atlases in my study catch their attention and they flip through it with certain curiosity and ask questions. I am not sure, they would feel the same way, if I had a software atlas on running on my PC. I do not think they would be bothered to ask about what it is. For them, it would just be a piece of software they will never use. Also for the same reason, I use typewriters to write letters, applications, memos, invitations etc. Post Extras:       Undermidnight BEOTS "Tweener Cup" winner Reged: 05/25/04 Loc: Hilliard, Ohio Re: "Great Atlas of the Sky" going out of print [Re: Rudra]       #5419889 - 09/13/12 08:24 PM Attachment (24 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Ok, My atlas showed up yesterday (actually, they attempted to deliver it on the 11th, but I was not at home.) My initial impression is that it is huge! Much bigger than I anticipated. The charts are wonderfully detailed.

Stephan Just curious Stephan, did you bought your second GAotS for you ? Yes, I buyed the second copy for myself. It is always good to have backup or spare charts of this outstanding Atlas. When it is gone, it is gone.

I went home for lunch and there it was. It was big, heavy, beautiful. I only had time to open it up and have a look, and it is in perfect condition. It was very well packaged. I'll inventory it when I have more time this evening. Thank you so much Piotr! It's gorgeous! I ordered it on July 26th, so it took just a little under two months to get it. To me, it was well worth the wait.

To me, it was well worth the wait. Most excellent!! I love mine too. I spent part of the evening yesterday adding hole protectors on each page. Got half way done. As I added them to each page, I would just stare at some of the pages. I am amazed at the detail.

Ordered the evening of 9-16, requesting notice when it shipped. I got shipping confirmation by email today, 9-18 from Piotr Brych. I went for the economy shipping, so it should arrive around Thanksgiving. Tracking appears to be with USPS international.

I wish they would have put it in a more inconspicuous place. They put it right in front of the door where it was visible from the street.
