Excellent Book For The Amateur Astronomer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This was the first of several books I purchased to learn about telescopes and astronomy. It's a great book for newbies. Author Bill Corbett does an excellent job of presenting the material in an easy to understand approach. I go back to it periodically to refresh my memory. We used it to decide on our first telescope purchase.
Great layout, photos, diagrams -- Organized well

This thin book is chock full of useful information for the person getting started with their first telescope. It is very well designed and organized, with tons of photos and diagrams, making it a fun read. I went to the bookstore looking for Star Ware when I found this book. Star Ware had absolutely no photos and had pages upon pages of technical jargon, whereas this book explained in interesting and simple terms the basics of telescopes, both in purchasing, setting up and using. I purchased the book and will keep it as a reference / guide now that I've read it. Recommended.
