Is there no market for secondhand books in the US?
Some of the best, and most useful, space and satellite books I've picked up
in the past ten years have been from secondhand stores and book sales.
There seems to be plenty of s/h dealers on the Internet.
I would suggest adding King-Hele's "Satellites and Scientific Research" to
the list, together with Howard Miles' "Artificial Satellite Observing". Also there
are two versions of "Observing Earth Satellites".

Hi Everyone,
I was thinking of asking for a book on orbital
mechanics/sat observing for christmas. What would you
recommend? I see that the most recommended is
_Observing Earth Satellites_ by King-Hele, but that is
out of print. Another more recently published book
('92) by King-Hele called _A Tapestry Of Orbits_ is
still in print, but it costs eighty bucks at Amazon,
(!!!) and I don't even know if it has the stuff I'm
looking for. So could anyone recommend a relatively
cheap book (like under fifty bucks) that teach me
something about this hobby and let me understand more
of the technical stuff that is talked about here?
Thanks a lot!
Clear skies,
Patrick
