The arrangement of this edition differs markedly from that of previous editions.

For the most part, books listed bear copyright dates beginning with 1967 through fall 1969. Part III contains an annotated bibliography of different reference materials such as atlases, bibliographies, chronologies, dictionaries and encyclopedias. Part IV is an annotated list of periodicals. There is an index to titles, a description of NASA services and a list of the addresses of sources of books and other materials.
