[Lvas] Fabulous book is in your library

[roger ivester]

LVAS,

 

In looking at some of your old newsletters I noticed a most interesting article. LVAS past President Jim Mellor donated his collection of astronomy reference books to the club. One of those books was The Observing Handbook and Catalog of Deep-Sky Objects by Brian Skiff and Christian Luginbuhl. I quote from this book very often. 

 

It is my opinion that this is the greatest deep-sky reference books ever written...period, not arbitrary. It is currently out of print and is very difficult to obtain.  
I know of two University astronomy professors in different parts of the state currently looking for a copy. If you want to improve your visual acuity and become an advanced observer to the absolute highest level...use this book.

 

Are you interested in selling this book for a premium price, as I will be asked? 

 

Roger
