Good sub-$10 book to get started in astronomy

[Mooches]

Hi, I'm a beginner from India and would like to know whether there's a reliable, cheap book to get started? Thanks

Hi mooches, I'm enjoying reading astronomy for dummies which is cheap if a little Americanised and outdated. Cheap tho, especially 2nd hand.

I'll check it out. Also, could someone recommend a good beginner's field guide also?

You can get a cheap planisphere too to get you started. Just two pounds at Astroboot.

Turn Left at Orion, might be more than $10 in India but it's worth stretching you budget for.

The previous hardback version should be cheaper too.
