It looks like if you do both sides that 300 charts might not fit properly in the binder. Yes? No? Post Extras:       Mike E.

Make sure you buy the "vinyl" rings. When I made my first purchase, I misread the meaning of "white paper hole re-inforcers" on the box; they were infact made out of paper.

No matter how many reviews or comments I had read, I was still taken aback by the sheer size and weight of this magnificent work. Thanks Piotr, I will treasure this always. Off to the store to buy 2400 reinforcing rings. That's a project! Post Extras:       okieav8r Carpal Tunnel Reged: 03/01/09 Loc: Oklahoma!

I received mine last week. I was unprepared for the HUGE size of this work. It's more like the Ten Commandments that Charlton Heston carried in the film. In fact, I am going to have a new profile picture done exactly that way, with me holding the Atlas like Tablets of the Law! Living in the desert in Israel that seems appropriate. /Ira Post Extras:       Sarkikos Postmaster Reged: 12/18/07 Loc: Suburban Maryland, USA Re: "Great Atlas of the Sky" going out of print [Re: Ira]       #5442534 - 09/26/12 10:02 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Post Extras:       rockethead26 Carpal Tunnel Reged: 10/21/09 Loc: Indiana, USA Re: "Great Atlas of the Sky" going out of print [Re: Sarkikos]       #5442555 - 09/26/12 10:14 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hey, I got 16 pages (32 charts) stuck with reinforcing rings before dinner today. Only 266 charts to go. I could get more done faster, but I always have help from the new kitten. EDIT: In an earlier post, I said that I needed 2400 reinforcement rings. I forgot there were two charts per page, so I only needed a little under 1200. Much better!

I'm very careful about turning the pages, so I only put reinforcements on pages where there appears to be a hole becoming ragged or stressed. I do keep a packet of the reinforcements in the pocket of the atlas, though.

People in line waiting have you at least receiveved confirmation from the seller that they acknowledege receipt and they have reserved a copy.

Still waiting on it. Rex, did your copy arrive via USPS? Did they just drop it off or you had to collect it? Post Extras:       rockethead26 Carpal Tunnel Reged: 10/21/09 Loc: Indiana, USA Re: "Great Atlas of the Sky" going out of print [Re: core]       #5449666 - 10/01/12 06:32 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Core, I'll jump in to answer your question. After the PayPal payment, I heard nothing until the USPS left a delivery attempt notice almost exactly two months after the order. I then had to go to the PO and collect it according to the notice. They offered no second delivery attempt which was fine with me as the PO is only a mile from my house. Piotr never answered an inquiry I made about a week before it showed up. Yours will probably show up in the next couple of days. Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | (show all)
