         It is a good book, I remember it well and still refer to my copy.  It 
    was used extensively while I was at the US Air Force Academy pursuing a BS in 
    Astronautical Engineering.  One of the many assignments I had was to write a 
    Fortran program that propagated TLE's to create my own predictions.  Salyut 7 
    was the "easy" one to see back then.  
          Now I rely on the great programs by Rob Matson and Dave Cappellucci and 
    my PC (instead of a terminal on a Burroughs 7700 that occupied a room almost 
    as big as my house!) for *graphical* predictions - it doesn't seem like it 
    was that long ago...
