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.

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.

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

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

$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.
