I have her "Deep Sky Wonders" book, which is gorgeous and very informative, lots of great wee 'tours' of small chunks of sky, including unusual sights, but it rarely goes below about 35deg S. Her tours are conducted from her observing site in upstate New York, so the most southerly tours are Puppis, Corvus, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Sculptor (quite a few nice Sco/Sag tours). Obviously there's a fair few Ursa Major, Cassiopeia, Perseus, Cepheus tours that are not do-able from southerly latitudes, but also lots in the middle that are fine. So maybe 2/3 or 3/4 of the tours in Deep Sky Wonders can be done from 35-40 deg S. I would guess that her other books would be written from the same location, so would cover the same parts of sky? But I don't know for sure!
