I was just about to suggest that book myself for this discussion since I
wrote it for Cambridge University Press. Last year it came out in a softbound
(less expensive) edition and its ISBN number is 0-521-48393-X for about $10.00.
The hardcover edition is ISBN 0-521-38200-9 for about $20.00. It is not, however
a "small volume" at 221 pages. Over 150 different designs are described in the
book.
Aside from an interest in automated telescopes, I've been lurking in this
mailing list because when the second edition of _Unusual Telescopes_ comes out,
I'm sure the TASS project will be included. -Pete-
