Is there no market for secondhand books in the US? Some of the best, and most useful, space and satellite books I've picked up in the past ten years have been from secondhand stores and book sales. There seems to be plenty of s/h dealers on the Internet. I would suggest adding King-Hele's "Satellites and Scientific Research" to the list, together with Howard Miles' "Artificial Satellite Observing". Also there are two versions of "Observing Earth Satellites".

I see that the most recommended is _Observing Earth Satellites_ by King-Hele, but that is out of print. Another more recently published book ('92) by King-Hele called _A Tapestry Of Orbits_ is still in print, but it costs eighty bucks at Amazon, (!!!) and I don't even know if it has the stuff I'm looking for. So could anyone recommend a relatively cheap book (like under fifty bucks) that teach me something about this hobby and let me understand more of the technical stuff that is talked about here? Thanks a lot! Clear skies, Patrick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
