Thank you Col for asking the original question. I second Suzy's recommendation. I felt like MikeyB's (from his quote) blind pig till I got a copy of 'A walk through the Southern Skies'. Very memorable descriptions of constellations, relationships and pathways. Really good too for any beginners who like me found reading glasses and good light an essential aid to viewing any planisphere or star chart in the dark. It gave the sky a readable, recognisable connected structure.
Also I'll second MikeyB's words on Robh's '"Night Sky Objects", 'as well as its companion Galaxy and Planetary Nebula Supplement'. Just brilliant!!!
