Just received my copy from Willmann-Bell. From a quick review, it's a nice complement to the first two volumes and appears to have the same quality and depth in the desciptions.
It looks to be a must for the serious deep-sky observer in the Southern Hemisphere. It will also be very useful for those in the Southern U.S. and similar latitudes, and the book makes this very point on the back cover. I live in Florida, at around latitude 29 degrees north, and many of the objects are in striking distance--though I have to view Centaurus A and Omega Centauri through my Dob while on my knees. Just wished I lived far enough south to see the Tarantula Nebula and 47 Tucanae!
