TYB Books -- History of Astronomy
TYB Books -- Telescope Building
TYB Books -- Amateur & Backyard Astronomy
I wrote my senior thesis on the role of Astronomy in Greek and Roman religion. A lot of these books I used as sources, so I know them fairly well. A lot of them are later than that, and a few of them I hadn't found until later and wish I had had them. But I want them all anyway. It's not greed, I'd just like my library to contain books I'd actually use. And I've also included books on archaeoastronomy here.
