TYB Books -- Amateur & Backyard Astronomy Books
I never had much opportunity to do amateur astronomy myself. I grew up near Cleveland, and that is not a great place for doing astronomy: too many cloudy nights. Still, not every night, and there were times when I could get out. I still think it is one of the best ways to learn astronomy, hands on and all that. So I've given here a list of books gathered especially with the amateur in mind. And when you're done with these, check out my other astronomy books pages, too.
