"Astronomica" Book On Sale
Booktopia http://www.booktopia.com.au/search.e...&submit=search has got the " Astronomica" book on sale and in stock at the moment for $34.95. I ordered it on Monday morning and received it very early Wednesday morning with email tracking of my order in between. Great service. This book has a wealth of information and pictures with a whopping 524 pages. It even lists all the 88 recognised constellations individually, detailing the objects of interest, pics & maps for each constellation. Worth every penny.

Nice "coffee table" sort of book 
Looks like a good purchase
Just got my last book I ordered, yesterday. "Stellar Spectral Classification". If you want to understand how and why they classify stars the way they do, I would recommend buying this book. It's not too hard to follow.

I have ordered a book on line, I think it is coming from the UK so it looks like it will be a little while before I receive it, due to the Volcano

See!! I knew you could do it
