If the Moon is the subject of your astronomical observing program, whether as a beginner or seasoned observer, Robert Reeves Photographic Atlas of the Moon seems to me as a must-have resource. Way back when I started my lunar explorations, I wish that this book had been around. Luckily for the lunar observer of the mid 2020s, there are a good number of fine lunar observing books to choose from. This one should be at the top of that list.

My one complaint about this book is that almost every photo is overly-sharpened and displays tons of sharpening artifacts that aren't really there.
That really spoiled the book for me.
But, as mentioned in the review, this is not the book to take outside and keep in the lap to spot Moon features, it is a book to teach you about the Moon, and that it does fairly well.
