Astronomical Society of the Pacific - Library Project
*** Selling of books has ended***
Thanks to everyone who supported ASP and gave these books new homes!
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) is downsizing its local offices and finding new homes for its incredible library of hundreds of space, astronomy, and science books from textbooks to popular science, history to biographies, and star atlases to space exploration. Vintage and new publications and everything in between. Most are review copies that have never been opened!
You can browse the full collection by bookcase (A through S) or special interest topics (e.g. women in science, eclipses, etc.) via the links below. N.B. books in the special interest posts can also be found on the bookcases, they have just been pulled to be highlighted by subject. Please use the Contact form for anything that strikes your fancy or anything you’d like to know more about. We will respond with the cost of the book(s) plus shipping (media rate) and instructions on how to purchase.
