Turn Left At Orion Reprint

[TopHouse]

Anyone trying to find this at the moment may struggle as it's in reprint, I confirmed this by speaking to the publishers and talk about service, Amazon UK have just sent me an email saying :-

"Guy Consolmagno, Dan M. Davis "Turn Left at Orion: A Hundred Night Sky Objects to See in a Small Telescope - and How to Find Them"

Estimated arrival date: February 23 2010 - March 02 2010"

Hi,

is this an updated issue, or just a reprint of an older one?

I also assume it is only available in hardback?

Cheers,

Texy

I also asked that and the answer i got was this :-

"This reprint has no new amendments - on a recent previous reprint we

updated all of the data tables to 2020."

I bought one just before Christmas, updated to 2020 on tables etc. It's a must have book for any astronomer with any scope. Worth waiting for the new stock!!

Hi TopHouse,

Can I ask who, or what, department you spoke with concerning the book, as I am after a dust cover for mine, bought new from an Amazon book seller some two years ago, unbeknown to me then, because I do not get out a lot, it came without a dust jacket, I didn`t realize this until some months later, when the retailer refused to do anything about it as it was out of time for complaints, a telephone number would be fine, PM me if you wish.

John.

Never believe any date that publishers give for the availability of a book, it almost always takes much longer. I checked another book supplier and they are quoting 6 to 8 weeks.

I notice however that at lest one seller on eBay has it.

I hear alot of mention about this book, is it worth buying for myself? i dont own any astronomy books yet and am looking to start collecting as my love for the sky has hit its peak now i have got my first scope ( woo hoo )

Try before you buy, a visit to your local public library will give you an in-site into the vast number of books available on the subject, is Turn Left at Orion worth buying?, IMHO yes, as I am sure others will agree.

I bought the book from Amazon just before Christmas and it had the 2020 dates in it.

I must say in my experience, Amazon seem to give a long lead time but often get the book and ship it before the date stated.
