flashbacks

As I was flipping through my bound copy of the Tirion skyAtlas 2000, deluxe edition, I remembered, fondly, when I regularly used this at the telescope.

Such beautiful work. Many of pages are a little crinkled from water or dew. The pages for the southern hemisphere are nearly pristine.

The custom acetate template I had made was no where to be found. I made a new one.

As I closed the back cover, I spotted the price tag was still on the back! Ha. $56. From the Nature Store.

And then I suddenly remembered that interesting store in the Eaton Centre. Dark wood. Many unique books. Gifts and hobby items. Long gone now...
