From the reviews: 'Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts has appeared in
semi-annual volumes since 1969 and it has already become one of the
fundamental publications in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics and
neighbouring sciences. It is the most important English-language abstracting
journal in the mentioned branches. ...The abstracts are classified under more
than a hundred subject categories, thus permitting a quick survey of the
whole extended material. The AAA is a valuable and important publication for
all students and scientists working in the fields of astronomy and related
sciences. As such it represents a necessary ingredient of any astronomical
library all over the world.' Space Science Reviews# 1 'Dividing the whole
field plus related subjects into 108 categories, each work is numbered and
most are accompanied by brief abstracts. Fairly comprehensive
cross-referencing links relevant papers to more than one category, and
exhaustive author and subject indices are to be found at the back, making the
catalogues easy to use. The series appears to be so complete in its coverage
and always less than a year out of date that I shall certainly have to make a
little more space on those shelves for future volumes.' The Observatory
Magazine# 2
