The Apollo Lunar Surface Journal will be published by World Library, Inc. on four CD-ROMs. Each CD-ROM will include the annotated transcript, the mission report, the relevant checklists, a large selection of photos and drawings, the EVA audio tracks, and a selection of video clips. As described in Lunar News No. 55 (July 1993, p. 5-7), the Journal is meant to document for posterity the technical experiences and insights gained by the Apollo astronauts who explored the surface of the Moon in 1969-72.

The Apollo 17 Lunar Surface Journal will be the first one released and we are currently assembling all of the material. I wish I could predict a release date, but can't. Sometime in calendar 1994, we all hope. Work on the text for the second disk which will combine Apollos 11, 12, and 14 is well underway and I would expect its release before the middle of 1995. Disks for Apollos 15 and 16 might make it out at six-month intervals thereafter.
