Yep mine's a 17th edition too. I think mine is 1977 (subject to correction) I bought it from Astro Optical Supplies at the same time as my 8" mirror grinding kit.
The Nortons is battered, briused and has a few dozen comet tracks (in pencil) running all over it and a stack of pencil notations all over the object pages. It was my first "serious" star atlas. Mind you I have since acquired a copy of (the much older) Bevcar's Atlas Eclipticus and Atlas Australis, The Skalnate Pleso, Sky Atlas 2000, Herald-Bobroff ... and on it goes. Love star maps
Much abused and at the same time much loved ...
Best,
Les D
