[/Burnham%27s%20Celestial%20Handbook Burnham's Celestial Handbook] (Vols 1, 2, and 3) - indeed, this not a moonbook, but... the large amount of names of astronomers and selenographers (!) in every one of the three volumes should ignite a systematic search for those names, because Burnham himself didn't made an alphabetic index to find them. It's an interesting pastime to detect those names which were used by the IAU as official lunar nomenclature!

- Part 1: the main section of this additional online page is an alphabetic index of all the authors who wrote the many articles (the book itself has no such index).
- [/Part%202 Part 2]: this is an alphabetic index of persons mentioned in MOON-related articles of which the authors are mostly unknown (Anonymous).
- Part 3: [/Transits Transits], this page is a short index of rare telescopic observations in the book (of possible asteroid-like objects crossing the moon's disc).
- [/Part%204 Part 4]: this is the A to M section of a general alphabetic index of all the names (of persons) mentioned in the book Mysterious Universe (NOT the authors of the articles, only the people IN the articles). Remember: the book itself has NO index of the many mentioned persons.
- [/Part%205 Part 5]: this is the N to Z section of the general index.
