After Bob Berman's Book, "Secrets of the Night Sky, which fed my interest in astronomy, it was the first edition of "The Backyard Astronomer's Guide" that I literally took to bed with me every night - reading and rereading sections. I had a great time sorting through all the telescope and eyepiece options and spent countless fun filled hours (OK so I'm a little odd) doing all types of calculations about the various configurations before I bought my first scope, eyepieces and accessories. I've read the second edition and look forward to reading the third edition. Thanks for the info. Maureen
