This book includes complete plans, step-by-step instructions with 275 illustrations that show you how to build these five telescopes: It is written and illustrated so that anyone between a teenage novice to the adult amateur astronomer will find the book interesting, and helpful.

We also suggest this for use in guiding children who are doing such a task as a science fair project. Detailed instructions include complete plans and photographs that show how to construct a capable telescope with ordinary household tools and materials. In clear, step-by-step instructions, author Richard Berry explains how to build five telescopes: from a simple reflecting telescope suitable for a parent with a small child, up to a 'research-grade' 10 inch telescope capable of sustaining a lifetime's interest in astronomy. 'Build Your Own Telescope' is one the first books which Company Seven recommends to those persons who are considering the decision of whether or not to build an astronomical telescope, or who have decided to build a telescope.
