This will always be a permanent part of my telescope reference collection.
If you are considering building a dobsonian telescope, this book is mandatory. While somewhat dated, the detailed information on everything from grinding mirrors to loading issues on equatorial mounts is invaluable. David Kreige makes telescopes for a living and damn good ones at that. I'm actually surprised at the number of "trade secrets" he discusses openly in the book and the pitfalls that will ensnare you if you neglect to read the book fully. The best time and money you can spend on a scope, is but this book, read it cover to cover and then consider building your own scope to meet you needs. I've built four Dobson scopes and all have been rewarding. With this book now in hand, I intend to explore the potential for a 24-30 inch Dobson for serious sky work after retirement. By the way, this is my second copy of the book. I've loaned my first one out so many times, it falling apart!Read full review

All ya need to build a Dobsonian!
This book fantastically details the what, how and why of building a Dobsonian, large and small. Just pulling plans off the internet leaves big holes in the knowledge base needed to build a telescope. This book fills in all those holes and gives you everything you need to design and construct your dream Dob. Totally recommended!

Great Telescope Construction Guide!
The Dobsonian Telescope by David Kriege, Richard Berry (1997) is the most comprehensive book Imaginable on the subject of Designing & building a Dobsonian type telescope. Every facet of design, and construction is covered, it is a truly complete guide. The text is easily read and understood and there are many, many tables, drawings and photos illustrating the way, step by step. I thought I already knew a lot about Dob scopes, but the amount of information and ideas in this book blew me away! If you are planning on building or improving an existing Dob telescope, this book is worth it's weight in eyepieces! Don't build a scope without it! Astroartist56 9/29/08
