MUST have 2000-03-22
Even if these 3 books are a little bit outdated (1983), it is still in irreplaceable source of information on all the celestials beauties to be seen on an amateur telescope


Undoubtedly helpful 2000-03-22
As I told in my previous review (bernardo@esfm.ipn.mx, 1998), Burnham's Handbook continues to be a daily reference for most amateur astronomers because it hasn't been surpassed, even rivalled.

We all know that the coordinates it gives are not the current ones. We all know that some of its data is out of date. We all know that its typing is old-fashioned. We all know that its pictures are not digital. But we all also know that it is one of the most useful astronomy sources around.
