Without this book (The Dobsonian Telescope) I would have been a bit lost, It's the way I went about building my telescope.

no way in hell am i paying $84 for it when its $30 odd from the supplier

that wouldn't be $30 Aust. ...... but yeah it is abit more than importing it yourself but saves a lot of screwing around when you dont have a credit card etc....

Oh well

Each to thier own.... spending ~$80 on a book that teaches you how to make something which will save you many $100's on buying a commercial product (particularly the larger sized scopes) ...... priceless

Never used the book and my Dob turned out okay, all info off the net. Each to their own I guess.
