Tonkin, Stephen (ed) Amateur Telescope Making Whilst, for obvious reasons, I am unable to be entirely objective about this book, I believe it will become a useful addition to any ATM's bookshelf and a complement to the other modern ATM books. There are fifteen projects for the ATM, including mounts, astrophotography and electronics as well as telescopes of varying complexity. |
Most of the ATM "classics" are not in print in Britain and are imported from the USA. Hence there is a much wider selection on the USA ATM Books Page.
| Manly, Peter L. Unusual Telescopes Full of interesting and amusing ideas. Not a manual, but more a general interest book for armchair ATMing. |

Moore, Patrick (ed) Small Astronomical Observatories: Amateur and Professional Designs and Constructions A number of different observatories, including radio, built by amateurs around the world. |
| Strong, John Procedures in Applied Optics Design and Construction of optical instruments. Extremely good book. |
