I own the 3 volumes of Burnhams celestrial handbook and It is a great book. Not only does it have a very comprehensive listing of DSO's but it can be read like a good novel. The book is getting a bit dated now but it is still a delight to read and my copy is very well used.
The death of Robert Burnham jnr was the tragic end of a troubled life. But in my humble opinion him and his book rank amongst the giants of astronomy.
