Just in time for Twelfth Night!

The Astrolabe by James E. Morrison (http://www.astrolabes.org/theastrolabe.htm) Soft cover, 438 pp. $60 (or $40 plus shipping special offer from the author) 

I was privileged to get my hands on a review copy of this book. It is a must-have for anyone who is even vaguely interested in the use and/or construction of the astrolabe, related instruments, astronomy/astrology of the period, or just looking for a fascinating read. Have a look at the linked page for details. 

As far as I know, this is the ONLY detailed reference currently available in the English Language.

Highly Recommended.
