This is the complete three-volume hardcover set of Burnham's Celestial Handbook by Robert Burnham Jr., staff member of Lowell Observatory from 1958 to 1979, published by Dover Publications in 1978.

Considered a classic reference for amateur astronomers, the set covers the entire sky organized alphabetically by constellation:

Volume One covers Andromeda through Cetus

Volume Two covers Chamaeleon through Orion

Volume Three covers Pavo through Vulpecula

All with detailed data, photographs, and Burnham's characteristically poetic commentary on the stars. This is the revised and enlarged edition, a substantial and highly sought-after set for anyone interested in observational astronomy.

The dust jackets on all three volumes show scuffing and edge wear but are intact and present. The boards beneath are clean and solid, and the interior pages are bright and free of markings.
