Hi everyone, just curious if anybody has these two books?
They were given to me, brand new for free, and Iā€™m really enjoying them, but just delving into them now wondering if anybody has seen these or bought them?

When I was a kid, visiting my grandmother's cottage in the summers, she had an Audubon Society night sky field guide. Like that one, but printed in 1965!
Even reading it in the early 1980's I knew some stuff was out of date, like the number of Jupiter's moons had jumped up since Voyager flew past.
But I loved the illustrations just the same. I think I read it cover to cover several summers in a row.

Thanks for the reminder, Frank - fond memories!

I've had the Audubon book since the mid-eighties, and I'm not giving it up yet!

The audubon series seems to be quite popular. In a box somewhere I know I have a manual from the early 80s.
A lot of good information still though some is outdated.

I've seen the Audubon book at Barnes and Noble IIRC. Looked like a good, intro guide.
