COMET C/1996 B2 (HYAKUTAKE) HANDBOOK

Edited by Nick James
We plan to publish by early June a special handbook dedicated to
the above comet. It will contain numerous pictures throughout the
book but, for the first time in the history of 'The Astronomer' the
four cover pages will contain colour photographs. The book will
also list all observations received up until the end of April with
considerably more detail than has been possible in the main
magazine.

Given the likely heavy demand, we strongly recommend copies are
booked in advance. Send 9.00pds (UK) or 10.00pds (overseas), made
payable to 'The Astronomer',  to obtain your post paid copy on
publication (early June) to:

Peter Meadows, 6 Chelmerton Avenue, Great Baddow, Chelmsford,
Essex, CM2 9RE,

E1073
The correct date of issue was, of course, 1996 May 7. Please amend
your records.
