This is an excellent book for me. I am learning about astronomy/stargazing, and also looking for advice relating to purchasing my first telescope. The book is greatly helping me to better choose my first telescope. The book also includes information about accessories for telescopes and binoculars, it also contains quite a bit of information on astronomy. I am glad that I purchased this book.

This book has an excellent overview of the various types of astronomical telescopes, including
reflectors and refractors. Then he explains the variations of these two main types and gives examples of
specific brands of telescopes. If you want to know more about telescopes, this is an excellent book.

Star Ware: The Amateur Astronomer's Guide to Choosing, Buying, and Using Telescopes and Accessories

Thumbs up on this one.

Philip Harrington explains the world of telescopes and binoculars in a concise manner, very understandable to one who has limited knowledge on the subject of astronomy.

Would recommend this book to all who are contemplating the purchase of a telescope or binoculars.
