The HAD Bibliography, New Series. Bibliography of English Language Publications on the History of Astronomy, 2003-2004. Compiled by Peter Abrahams, [email protected] Omitted are: obituaries, juvenilia, popular accounts, internet publications, book reviews, and space exploration. Foreign language entries will be included in future bibliographies; these require a fluent collaborator. Book listings are incomplete, and a method is sought for systematically locating titles. Publishers, librarians, and interested persons are welcome to participate. ======
