Derek gave me the promised books he had discussed early.How to Make a Telescope by Jean Texereau is a paperback from 1963. It has a price tag of $2.15 on it. "The first edition of this book was universally acclaimed as the best book ever written for making a Newtonian telescope" according to the Willmann-Bell web site.
The Amateur Telescope Making - Books One through Three circa 1974 are hard covers from Scientific American.
Derek and I discover more common interests...
Well. I don't know if I'll ever build a telescope! But I hope to learn about cleaning, repolishing mirrors, etc.
