Does anyone know if this book by Crossin & Tirion covers the southern hemisphere?

Thanks
Craig

Craig,

NOT COMPLETELY. I looked thru my copy last night and today. It seems to have written text only for a few of those constellations below the equator that would be visible from lower mid northern latitudes, maybe down to 40°South.

Extensive written text on Sagitarius and Scorpius, which both go down to 40°South.

Among the lesser seen (from northern latitudes) southern constellations (south of -20°) included: Microscopium, Piscis Austrinus, Grus, Sculptor, Fornax, Eridanus, Lupus, Columba, Puppis (down to -40°), Antilia, and Centaurus.
