To show you just how 'Up-to-date' I am, here is a list of my Astro reading matter:
'The Size of the Universe' by F.J. Hargreaves - 1948. ('One Shilling & Sixpence' printed on cover)
'The Amateur Astronomer' by Antonin Rukl - 1979
4 issues of this years 'Aust Sky & Tel'
1 issue of 'night sky' (thanks David pretorius) July/Aug 05
and a kids book called 'Learn about Astronomy' that I bought for my kids.
I too Google for info and use Cartes du Ciel.
That's it! I'm just bursting at the seams with Literature
Not too bad for 20 years in this hobby!
