  • A must have

    If you only ever buy one book on astronomy then this is the one to have. For generations this atlas has been considered the amateur astronomer’s bible. The only down side is that it is no longer printed on stout paper like pre-2000 editions were.

  • Every astronomer should own one

    Excellent beginners' handbook and also useful for dipping into by seasoned astronomers. Bargain prices on ebay. Although dated, much of the info is, and will remain, valid. The book would be more correctly entitled a Reference Handbook plus Atlas as the latter appears right at the end of the book. Use this with a planisphere to give yourself a good grounding into visual astronomy. Highly recommended.
