Hartung's first edition (1968) is an excellent book. Although dated in some respects it stands up very well in all others. How much it's truly worth I couldn't say, but for 100 AUD or less I suspect it would be a worthy addition to the bookshelf.

The Malin edition is also excellent and more up-to-date, but at those prices? Man! Maybe for a hard-core collector it could be worth that, but not to me as a 'mere' amateur astronomer, although some of you guys may think otherwise.

There are a lot of other books around that can fill the gap and for a lot less.
