The Carnegie Atlas of Galaxies by Sandage & Belle, 2 Volumes, 1994, Used Library

Description: These are used library books and shows various signs of wear and the library card pouch and other library stickers and stamps. The binding is loose on both, but Volume 1 has the loosest binding. I have the condition as acceptable, but they may be fair. I am pricing this at a bargain due to these circumstances. A rare find at this price point. This two-volume atlas has been made to accompany and supplement A Revised Shapley-Ames Catalogue of Bright Galaxies (Carnegie Institution of Washington Publ., No. 635, 1981, 1987). It also extends, refines, and more completely illustrates the galaxy classification system set out in The Hubble Atlas of Galaxies (Publ., No. 618, 1961). The atlas proper consists of 340 panels illustrating 1168 individual galaxies. The galaxies are arranged in the order of the present classification sequence, starting with diskless E galaxies and ending with the Sm and Im late-type dwarfs and the amorphous types. Most of the 1246 galaxies of the original Shapley-Ames Catalog (1932) are illustrated. However, adequate plates have not been obtained for about 6% of the Shapley-Ames entries and are not included, but no gaps in the illustrated classification sequence result from this incompleteness. A few galaxies not in the Shapley-Ames Catalog, mostly Im dwarfs, are included to complete the description for parts of the dwarf classification scheme.
