From the reviews:
„Purchasing your first pair of binoculars or first telescope can be an intimidating task. … James Mullaney’s book is an invaluable guide to aid in your purchase. … He has compiled comprehensive, up-to-date product and contact information for manufacturers and suppliers of binoculars and telescopes. … While it’s certainly a great book for the novice observer, advanced amateurs will probably find that the book covers too much familiar ground to warrant purchasing.“ (Jennifer Birriel, Sky & Telescope, November, 2007)
A Buyer's and User's Guide to Astronomical Telescopes & Binoculars
von James MullaneyBoth beginning/novice amateur astronomers (at the level of Astronomy and Night Sky magazine readers), as well as more advanced amateur astronomers (level of Sky and Telescope) will find this book invaluable and fascinating.
Amateur astronomers are always contemplating the „next telescope up“ and this will point the way to the most suitable instrument to which they should aspire. Similarly, those who are buying their first telescope – and these days not necessarily a low-cost one – will be able to compare and contrast different types and makes.
Also includes details on the latest released telescope lines, e. g. the 10-, 12-, 14- and 16-inch aperture models of the Meade LX-R series.
