To all I must recommend _the best_ mail-order book source that I've found
anywhere. I've used their service many times and have found books that
I could find nowhere else. They ship by second-day shipping at no extra
charge and many of the over one million titles they carry are discounted
from list price (not low-purchase-volume books like this one, unfortunately).
Their URL is:
http://www.amazon.com/
and
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ats-query/3016-2316135-470457
will get you right to their on-line info on this book and will also provide a
link to other books on "Artificial Satellites" and "Orbits". This site is
the technical bookworm/net surfer's dream.
Here's some of the captured text from the query URL listed above:
