I recently renovated the reference page on my web site, but the list of
reference books still needs filling out. If you're so inclined, take a
look at

Please offer suggestions for books to add. I'm particularly interested
in equipment guides and observing guides...

A few that come to mind (all observing-related):

H.A Rey's _The Stars: a New Way to See Them_
Michael Covington's _Celestial Objects for Modern Telescopes_
Firefly's fabulous planisphere (OK, so it's not a book...)
Rukl's _Atlas of the Moon_
Tirion and Ellyard's _Southern Sky Guide_

Backyard Astronomer's Guide to Astronomy
Nightwatch
