A book that has an atlas with photographic images. Oh and under $30 bucks. Thanks to all.

Virtual Atlas of the Moon is free to download and is an excellent resource.
The best Lunar Atlas was done by Rukl but you will not find it for $30USD

I found a used copy of "The Clementine Atlas of the Moon", Cambridge Press, at Half Price Books for around $20. I haven't read through the text, but it has 144 photo plates - near and far sides. The plates are unmarked but there's a matching map on the facing page with features labeled. Glossy paper, 317 pages total.

There is a used book store that I often pass during my deliveries. I will stop in to check out what they have. Great idea, thanks.
