GEM Books?

[GraemeT]

I have seen a few articles and websites with descriptions of amateur built EQ mounts which could be more explicit. I have some ideas which could work well but are there books, publications, websites which you would recommend as definitive works on the subject?

There is an entire chapter (41 pages) in "How to Make a Telescope - Second Edition" by Jean Texereau, Willmann-Bell publisher.

See http://www.willbell.com/tm/tm3.htm

"All About Telescopes" by Sam Brown, Edmund Scientific publisher is a fantastic book that covers everything from telescope making to observing.

Thanks Astro744, I managed to track the Texereau down. Bintel have them new and there are several second hand through Amazon.
