Star-names and their meanings (1899) - edition by Richard Hinckley Allen. Crafts, Hobbies & Home eBooks @ . Reviews
Allen's "Star Names" is a woefully out-of-date compendium of information, some of which is useful, but much of it is archaic late 19th century "orientalism". Beware.
A great book that I would recommend for anyone who has an interest in both astronomy and astrology. Nature and Mysticism combine with Science to make a very educational read.
The kindle edition of this book, published by 'Lost Library', is woefully lacking. The cover, and the first four pages were apparently facsimiles, photographs of original pages... and all photographic images are deleted from this kindle edition. The title pages of each section were facsimiles of the original book, so these too are missing, so there is no title (or description) for each section. The publisher didn't bother to insert new title heads in text, but merely stripped the kindle edition of the facsimile pages and published it. The table of contents, which is not large in the original, and easy to miss in this edition, is not linked to the sections. So you're pretty much on your own.
These type of kindle editions of books in the public domain, bare-bones, non-hyper-linked, used to be offered for free on in times past. This edition is worth no more than that. I really can't say who's at fault - the publisher or the system - and raised the price on public domain books at this crude level, but it's not a dynamic I want to invest in. I sent mine back for refund.
