The books are Small Astronomical Observatories, More Small Astronomical Observatories and Setting Up A Small Observatory, Alien. They show up OK for me.

Thanks for starting this thread; it's a very informative one. There's little publicity on books about Observatories, so to be able to have such a great selection in one place, is a very nice addition to the forum.

Indeed, there'sn't any website with good photos of the covers of Observatory books but I might start one to share my 30-year old collection. And I'll order these a bit better
