Here I have made a significant effort to trawl the internet and I have compiled a chronological access to over 180 electronic copies of full texts of books, observations and substantive papers dating back to the start of modern astronomy at the beginning of the seventeenth century. These are now available to view on online archives [in a small number of cases you may need to open an account with the online library - this is free] and so I have included the link. The ones proceeded by a * I do not possess as over the years I have collected about 600 books on Astronomy, the Universe and related topics some dating back to the 1830’s. Within these are about 40 books dedicated to either the Sun, Solar Physics or Solar Astronomy.

Below is a list of the books that I have compiled so far that includes the name of the author, [Publisher and date of publication]. I have not written a formal review on each book.! It is interesting to follow right from the very the roots of scientific understanding and trace how it advanced over the years together with ever increasing improvements in observational and photographic techniques combined with space observational platforms/assets.

As a published author myself, I know just how much work goes into the research and then writing a book and the end rewards are minuscule when compared to the effort made, as such, writers mainly do it for the love of their subject and with science books quickly going out of date - support the author and buy the book!

If you are aware of any significant publications that I may have missed please feel free to contact me so that I can include them in this list at a future revision date.

From the above list the difinitive work up to 1995, in my view is SOLAR ASTRONOMY HANDBOOK – Beck Hilbrecht Reinsch Volker. This also contains a very comprehensive list of publications prior to 1993. Philip Pugh’s book in 2007 OBSERVING THE SUN WITH CORONADO TELESCOPES was a great inspiration and it certainly sent me on a DIY and spending spree! I would certainly recommend the BAA Observing Guide to the Sun as it has been prepared by some of the top amateur Solar Astronomers with a huge combined number of years experience.

If any one has any old solar books for sale that are not listed above or can suggest any further books please contact me.

If you want to try to find that old book on line try online archive
