The book covers the Soviet era and Russian era spaceflights in detail. Excellent reference for all space buffs wanting to keep track of visits to Soviet space stations, Intercosmos missions and satellite launches. Unique in its kind, very appealing style of writing so it can easily be read by the non-specialists in the field.
The book measures 6 X 9 inches, contains 392 pages of which about 30 have a Black&White photo. For each mission there's a small drawing of the spacecraft and the configuration of the spacestation it docked at, giving and idea in which way vessels were re-docked for logistics and visiting crews. Furthermore each chapter has Technical frames which explain launch and recovery sequences. Bibliographical references througout this fine book!

I suppose it is good. Why do they ask these reviews so quickly? I haven`t even started reading it yet.
