I was waiting for this book! .. and I have got it immediately via Amazon.
I have collected in my bookshelf most of the vintage ('50s and '60s) book
related with artificial satellite observing.
When I got hooked by astronomy (1969) probably I heard the last echoes of
Moonwatch and satellite observing, today almost completely neglected in my
country (Italy) by official or amateur organizations - but my interest is
going on, at the moment with a lot of books and binoculars but very few
observations.
Hope to start some observing campaign soon.
Thank you so much for your review.
Best Regards
