I was wondering how they got everything into one volume; must have decided the Uranometria Star Map wasn't worth including in the all sky edition and also publishing a new DSFG wasn't worth doing either. I thought perhaps thinner paper was used but I don't have the All Sky edition to compare. Pity though because it is nice to see a broader part of the sky before getting in on the detail and the Roman numeral charts provided just that. I do find though the layout of having RA across opposing pages in the main charts is nice and there are more than enough field stars to help identify where you are looking.

Just ignore the reference to Roman numeral charts in the DSFG.
