Spectroscopy books
Not sure if this topic relates only to spectrocope books (the title, which I have changed) or mone general ones on spectroscopy ... I'm assuming the latter.
I believe the Kaler, Tonkin, Kitchen and Robinson books are the core library for any 'serious' amateur spectroscopist and would also add John Hearnshaw's "The Analysis of Starlight" if you want an excellent history of the subject ... can be hard to find and a bit expensive. I have, but don't recommend, Emerson's "Interpreting Astronomical Spectra", unless you are very comfortable with a highly mathematical treatment of the physics involved. There are also a few other astro books with pretty decent chapters on spectroscopy at a more basic level and, of course, Buil's excellent website.
