As I told in my previous review ([email protected], 1998), Burnham's Handbook continues to be a daily reference for most amateur astronomers because it hasn't been surpassed, even rivalled.We all know that the coordinates it gives are not the current ones.

But we all also know that it is one of the most useful astronomy sources around.
