history: Handbook of Model Rocketry

Ok History Buffs....I need the date that each edition of the world famous Handbook of Model rocketry was published.

Also didn't G.Harry author at least one other book on Model Rocketry?

TIA

Digging through my messy closet I found "THE NEW MODEL ROCKETRY MANUAL" copyright 1977 - looks to be a highly shortened version of the original with a lot of the same pictures but only 120 pages

thanks Dale, in addition to the date, I also need the name of the publisher and if possible, the printing number... for example there may have been multiple print edition of the same edition...

TIA

OK, the publisher was Follett Publishing Co of Chicago, I see nothing refering to a printing number,the library of congress catalog number is

65-18968 and at the bottom of the page is 123456789 -I doubt if that means anything! And the price - $4.95 paperback, a lot of money back then!

For the new model rocketry manual - Publisher ARCO PUBLISHING COMPANY,INC 219 park avenue south, New York NY. Numbers on the inner page , TL844.S75 629.47'5'0228 76-36137 ISBN 0-668-04282-6

But you are hard core for "Lee Corey".

Jerry

"Today, *anybody* can put a large model rocket motor in a very small, highly streamlined model rocket and launch it straight up and out of sight. It doesn't prove that the person who did it is a genius, somebody special, a technology wizard, or anything of the sort. It does, however, indicate that the person is a "technology twit"--one who doesn't care how science and technology are used..."

- The Handbook of Model Rocketry, 5th edition, page 10 by G. Harry Stine

"Nothing in the preface or first chapter [The Handbook of Model Rocketry, 5th edition] makes any distinction between "basement bombing" and organized amateur groups."

- Kenneth C. McGoffin

It was probably shortly after his death, but someone, possibly Gary Crowell, posted a rather complete and extensive bibliography of G Harry's works to RMR. You might be able to find it in one of the archive searches...

...good thing for archives, I couldn't find it here at home. Here it is again with a few updates. Fixed pitch font and 100 character width for the format to work. As before, if anyone can add anything to it, please do. He must have had articles in technical/professional journals, but I never ran across an index for those.

Well, I *had* the sixth, but it never came back from a loan. That's the kind of loss I don't mind, since it went to a H.S. student; I like to think it'll get some use. The sixth ed is easy to replace at Amazon.

There was also a good list of Harry's publications in the handout at his funeral, which I attended. I had saved it, and I recently found it going through some old files. I can make copies for those who are interested.
