WANTED Hartung Book

[Grun]

Hartung's Astronomical Objects for Southern Telescopes

[Gargoyle_Steve (Steve)]

You may want to specify which edition you're after - the "plainer" first edition, or the much improved, much more recent 2nd edition with updates and images by David Malin, etc, because the 2 are very different in terms of content, and in terms of availability and price!

I purchased a replacement copy of Hartung's last week from The Book Depository in the U.K. It arrived today - in 8 days! But be prepared to pay for it, 73 pounds. Here is the direct link to the order page.

The ISBN number: 9780521554916..Prior to this, I searched Amazon.com (8 of their resellers), Melbourne University Bookshop, Dimocks, and many, many others on-line, all out of stock.

The Book Depository was the only one which had the book. It arrived today. I had to replace a copy which was lost 7 years ago.

I admit I wasn't aware of abebooks at the time so I can't comment on them, but try them also.

Also, look at Biblioz you'll find lots of new and second-hand copies. Here is a list of search results. Some stores are asking $500 for a new copy. Is it worth that much? I don't think so, at least while there are cheaper copies around.

collectable.

btw, an excelent book for us southerners

regards,CS and good luck!

I've never actually used mine - but then again I can't remember the last time I actually looked through a telescope. I bought it from Sky and Space magazine (or was it Bintel?)....

Cheers

It must have been Bintel, if it was Sky and space it would be still coming
