Back in October Rex Hall posted a note indicating that I am working on
a report "CIS SPACE ACTIVITY 2000" which would be available early next
year. My plan is to have the report taken to the printers around
January 31st and then copies will be mailed out as soon as they come
back from the printer.

After Rex posted the original announcement I indicated that I would
post further information when it became available. With most of the
writing done I know pretty-well how long the report will be, and
therefore I have been able to fix a reasonable price which is mainly
governed by the costs in printing and bomb-binding the report. Using
"L" for the "pounds sterling" symbol, the basic report cost will be
L45. Adding on the cost of postage and packing - and, for non-UK
purchasers, an additional amount to cover what the bank charges for
any overseas transactions - the total amounts will be:-
Within the UK (first class delivery) L48.75
Within Europe (air mail delivery) L59.50
Rest of the World (air mail, printed material delivery) L63.20
If you wish to confirm your existing order for the Report (or you have
been interested, but have been awaiting the final price details) then
you can either contact me by post, fax (+44 1424 715286) or e-mail and
I will send you a pro forma invoice to cover the cost of the Report.
Alternatively you could send through the appropriate payment without
an initial invoice and I will issue a receipted invoice upon receipt
of your payment.
Some of the "professional" reader of FPSPACE might be interested in a
companion report which I am also planning to have ready at the
beginning of February next year: "CHINESE SPACE ACTIVITY, 1996-2000".
The bulk of the work on that Report will be complete by the end of
this year and anyone who is interested in this Report who has not
already contacted me is invited to do so as soon as possible: the
price will be more in line with the other Reports published by the
Molniya Space Consultancy, at around L100.
