ALPO monographs are publications that we believe
will appeal to our members, but which are usually
too lengthy for publication in The Strolling
Astronomer. Most of the ALPO monographs are
proceedings (compilations of papers and
presentations) from various ALPO conventions
(conferences).
A few publications other than conference
proceedings are also included here, and one
monograph is available only by regular mail; it is
Monograph Number 3, the H.P. Wilkins 300-inch Moon
Map. 3rd Edition (1951). [Reduced to 50 inches
diameter; 25 sections, 4 special charts; also 14
selected areas at 219 inches to the lunar diameter.
Price: $28 for the United States, Canada, and
Mexico; $40 elsewhere.] Hard copy versions of all
ALPO monographs are available from: The Strolling
Astronomer Science Editor, P.O. Box 2447, Antioch,
CA 94531-2447 U.S.A.
Besides these pdf versions, hard copy versions of
all ALPO monographs are also available
by regular mail from: The Strolling Astronomer
