[Aavso-photometry] Photometry Text - Opinions

[Michael Koppelman]

I have Budding's 1st edition and it is very math-heavy. I should pull  
it out again now that I'm more familiar with the topic. From what I  
recall, if you really want to understand the deep theory, it is a  
great book but it was less useful as a practical manual. This might  
be a very good update, though.
