The Field Book of the Stars by William Tyler Olcott and Stars at a Glance by George Philip
Two fascinating books on the stars in our skies — one with an antique view, the other a 1970s perspective.
Both books are organized by viewing stars by season or month. The Olcott book concentrates on constellations visible from the New England and Middle States, aimed at popularizing star-gazing via the naked eye or an opera-glass.
