Rock Arts Topographical Survey (RATS)

http://www.egyptology-uk.com/bloomsbury/
For anyone wondering what happened to the promised second volume of Desert RATS, here is a statement I found yesterday on the Bloomsbury Summer School website:
"As a consequence of the insolvency of the original printer of Desert RATS, Mike and Maggie Morrow’s invaluable catalogue of rock art sites in Egypt’s Eastern Desert, BSS now intends to seek a new business partner and publish the long-awaited second edition of RATS towards the end of 2007. This will be a significantly enhanced edition of the first one since the book will include new information about Hans Winkler’s recently rediscovered Site 18 and a CD of the complete volume. This CD will also contain over 500 additional plates of the most prominent images in full colour. The book and CD will be sold for £45, the CD on its own for £15, with discounts for EES members. As soon as there is a firm publication date, further information will be sent directly to all purchasers of the first edition, all those on the waiting list for the second edition and all those on BSS and BA mailing lists. In addition, progress reports will be published here from time to time."
