Periodically a question is asked on Patch-L on the status of the Blue Book. Without going into long detail, the facts of which I am not totally privy to, there has not been an issue available since the 2006 NOAC.
In a post speculating on the total number of issues for the 2009 NOAC, Roy More states:
We’ve taken over the management and publication of the OA Blue Book so we’re heading home from pre-NOAC to see that the system can handle all of these new additions. What an undertaking.
If you follow the link, you find yourself here:
There are several posts, but no comments yet.
A few tidbits from the posts:
The site for The Blue Book is, we think logically, OABlueBook.com. The site is very much “under development†but some of the things we will now be able to do:
– Anyone will be able to give submissions for new issues and varieties.
– Users will be able to add comments about issues including historical information such as number made, when issued, any restrictions, etc.
– More easily include new areas such as lodge totem pins or other memorabilia.
…
Should there be an overhaul of the issues in Blue Book as stated in the last, 6th, edition?
…
How do we handle lodges that do not have a number?
Go check it out and leave Ray your thoughts.
