From the reviews:
"This is the ideal reference book for the serious amateur … who is ready to dip his toes in the waters of deep-sky astronomy. … Eight types of deep-sky objects are included … . there is a brief description of the object, with useful observing notes and other relevant items of information. … All-in-all W H Finlay’s Concise Catalog of Deep-Sky Objects is an excellent no-nonsense guide for the amateur observer who wishes to start exploring the less familiar reaches of the night-sky." (Brendon K Ward, Astronomy & Space, November, 2004)
"The compilation made by the author is in fact very rich in information. … Some 520 NGC objects are listed with all the meaningful data available from over a thousand different sources in the astronomical literature. Data are tabulated for each object … . When available, additional data … are also given. Some particular objects are provided with special charts. … a valuable contribution to the amateur astronomical literature."
