One of my favourites - "The Night Sky - Discovering the Universe from Alpha Centauri to Quasars". (Giles Sparrow)
Long title, but a brilliantly-conceived book of 260 pages. An absolute ripper. Up to date (2006) so even software it discusses is relevant and current. It covers EVERYTHING you'd want to know when starting out in amateur astronomy. I'm going to do a review on this book for here because I genuinely believe it's that good. Even people who have been involved for ages will get plenty out of it too. Highly recommended!
