I've just about observed all of the ones visible from Perth. Some of them were quite tricky in the 25" and took a fair bit of patience to see. The book the OP refers to is the one that inspired me to ensure I had a few on the observing list every night. Some of them are very well known objects - for example Seyfert's Sextet, the Antennae, and many more...
Harlton Arp is still active on campus in La Jolla (well, last time I was there!), at the University of California San Diego campus, and despite the controversy surrounding his early career is still willing to take on postgrads! Can't recommend the book highly enough for an excellent description of his career.
regards,
Andrew

Reason: removed redundant reference to the book!
