I live near Canberra, so went to Clouston & Hall (Fyshwick warehouse) after calling ahead; they had plenty of copies yesterday (12-aug-20).
Thanks to those that revitalised this thread!! I am new to astronomy, and was searching for a good reference. For where I am, I find it really informative and interesting. Each object gets a good few pages.
In particular,the sketches and summaries of what different telescopes and magnitudes are likely to show (though with minimal experience he perhaps describes wheat I might see with more said experience).
The historical aspects of the early astronomers is also quite fascinating. what they used, when, and what they saw, and how they methodically documented these observations.
