Burnham's Celestial Handbook was recommended to me when I first started astronomy in 2004. It was quoted as the "bible". I got the three volume from Amazon (one new and two second-hand) as I could not get them in Australia.
I always wondered why there were no updates. Now I know.... very sad. Although I mainly use Starry Night to check info, I am amazed by the efforts that the late Mr Burnham put into the book.
My tribute to Mr Burnham, the legend in astronomy.
