[sac-forum] Re: SAC H400 List

Is Dickson's book still "in print" and/or available?  I see where his
"110 Best of the NGC" was placed onto the SAC website, but I'd be
interested in his H400 work, as well.  The format is very
straightforward with no frills.

Thanks,

Darrell Spencer

AJ,

Here's another data point.  I used Paul Dickson's book "Finding the
Herschel 
400", published 1997.  It also has 1750 and not 7814.
