Speaking as a contributer to all three volumes, I am always very happy to know that I provided text and drawings to this project. I know that many folks have spoken that they use these books for creating observing lists every month and love to compare to what we saw for a variety of deep sky goodies as they made they way around the sky.
We have to find joy wherever we can; Steve Coe
