A book? A website? If a book, how does one buy it? If a website, what is the link?

A search just turns up essentially the article above which seems to be a copy and paste of the news release.

From a phys.org story on the matter, there's a 200MB jpeg. https://dx.doi.org/10.12176/03.99.02797

Seems to still be in the process of being proofed.

Direct link to the JPEG:

Ooo, printing this for the kids room.

Watermark all over. Need to wait for the one after they proof-read.

That looks almost identical to the one from 2022. The only obvious differences that I see (besides "pre-proofs" watermarked all over it) are in the Geologic Time Scale table and the credits on the lower left.

The map itself looks the same as far as I can tell.

I'll just say, I did thirty seconds of research to find that jpeg. There seems to be much more out there.

Yeah, this article is triggered by the "release" of the multi-page atlas, although there's no obvious way to purchase it. The JPG of the single plate has not been updated since the 2022 release; the pre-print remains the only available copy.

is there a torrent for it? server seems to be overloaded

In addition to the big jpeg linked in the sibling, [1] shows the photo of a pretty hefty tome being published in both Chinese and English. I found some Chinese online retailers carrying the Chinese version for about $400, but I can’t find the English version anywhere.

$400, damn. Although, to be fair, that book does look to be the size of a hefty fantasy trilogy. If the printing quality is up to snuff, it should be a gorgeous and very interesting read.

Not sure where did he find it, but I found the two books in taobao, one is about 2500RMB(350USD), the other is 4500RMB(620USD), Chinese version only.

As they said, it is "for studying the evolution of the moon, selecting the site for a future lunar research station and utilizing lunar resources".

Looks like it's 2 books, Geologic Atlas of the Lunar Globe and Map Quadrangles of the Geologic Atlas of the Moon.
