Some excellent news on the Willmann-Bell front

[Martin Meredith]

In case anyone missed it, the Willmann-Bell catalogue has been acquired by the American Astronomical Society

who plan to make the bulk of them available indefinitely. Phew!

I have seen this on CN and I am relieved. It really is the best possible outcome. I will order some books right away when they become available

Just be aware that Sky Publishing are very parochial and unless the AAS can sort out the international vendors that WB used to have it may be expensive and difficult to get them directly from the US.  I see that they are talking end of October before the US side is sorted so hopefully FLO and others can get the distribution over here sorted as well in time for Christmas 🙂
