Hi everyone, just curious if anybody has these two books?
They were given to me, brand new for free, and Iām 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Even reading it in the early 1980's I knew some stuff was out of date, like the number of Jupiter's moons had jumped up since Voyager flew past.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A lot of good information still though some is outdated.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.
