Norton's Star Atlas and Reference Handbook Summary

Norton's Star Atlas and Reference Handbook by Ian Ridpath

Generations of amateur astronomers have called it simply Norton's - the most famous Star Atlas in the world. It's immediate success was largely due to "Norton's" uniquely accessible accessible arrangement of maps in slices, or 'gores' each covering approximately one-fifth of the sky, and its inclusion of stars visble to the naked-eye.
