Spectroscope books

C R Kitchin has produced a couple of good books:
"Optical Astronomical Spectroscopy" which covers the design and use of spectroscopes, and
"Astrophysical Techniques" which has a couple of very technical chapters on spectroscopes.
Both designed for "undergraduates"

Don't forget PAS..."Practical Amateur Spectroscopy" by Steve Tonkin; it's a bit clunky in places but helpfull..
G D Roth's "Astronomy Handbook" also has a very got chapter on Spectroscopes as does Patrick Martinez' "The Observers Guide to Astronomy" - Vol 2 both well worth reading....
