Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. v.2 & 3 only & : ill. ; 24 cm. ; ISBN: LCCN: 77-82888 ; LC: QB64; Dewey: 523.8/9 ; OCLC: 3863848 ; color paper wrappers ; "This comprehensive coverage of the thousands of celestial objects outside our solar system. The objects are grouped according to constellation, and their definitions feature names, coordinates, classification, & physical description, along with hundreds of visual aids." ; "Burnham was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1931. His family moved to Prescott, Arizona in 1940, & he graduated from high school there in 1949. That was the culmination of his formal education. Always a shy person, he had few friends, never married,b& spent most of his time observing with his home-built telescope. In the fall of 1957 he received considerable local publicity when he discovered his first comet. This led to his being hired by Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona in 1958 to work on a survey of stellar proper motion using a blink comparator. While Burnham was working at Lowell, he and his co-worker, Norman G. Thomas, discovered five more comets (including 56P/Slaughter-Burnham), & numerous asteroids. In addition to his regular duties at the observatory, Burnham spent almost all of his free time working on the Celestial Handbook. His writing & his book were never officially supported by Lowell Observatory. Subtitled 'An Observer's Guide to the Universe Beyond the Solar System', the 2,138 page Burnham's Celestial Handbook combines a lengthy introduction to astronomy with catalog information for every constellation in the sky. Hundreds of photographic plates, tables, charts, and diagrams are included along with a vast amount of scientific and observing information, star lore, history, and even a little poetry. Thousands of stars & deep sky objects visible in small telescopes are covered in meticulous detail. Originally self-published in a loose-leaf serial format beginning in 1966, and with a revised edition by Dover Publications in 1978, the Celestial Handbook was well reviewed in amateur astronomy magazines & became a best seller in a very specialized field. In April 1979, the year after his book was published by Dover, Burnham received notice that the proper motion survey would soon be completed and that the observatory could not afford to keep him on in the position he had long held. Despite months of warning, he failed to make other arrangements and, after twenty-one years at Lowell, his job ended in December of that year. Unwilling to take the only position that was offered to him, that of janitor at the observatory, he left. Burnham was never able to recover personally, professionally, or financially after he lost the job at Lowell. Over the next few years, while sales of the Celestial Handbook were rapidly growing, Burnham's personal circumstances were steadily worsening. His shyness increased and he shunned all publicity, becoming even more reclusive. He bickered often with Dover about royalties and about possible new editions or translations of his book. He also seemed to become more bitter and depressed, isolating himself even further from his few friends and his family. Beginning in 1985, Burnham lived for a time in Phoenix, Arizona, but in May 1986 he left Phoenix & dropped out of sight completely, informing no one but his publisher of his whereabouts. Despite being the author of a successful book, Burnham spent the last years of his life in poverty & obscurity in San Diego, California, selling his paintings of cats at Balboa Park. His many devoted readers were completely unaware of his personal circumstances, in large part, because most people assumed that a different and unrelated Robert Burnham, who was an editor at Astronomy magazine, was the author of Burnham's Celestial Handbook. The real author died destitute and alone at the age of sixty-one. His family did not learn about his death (apparently by his choice) until two years later & didn't report it to the press even then because they were unaware." ; VG. Book.
