Over a period of 21 years Allan Mackintosh edited and distributed the Maksutov Circulars to Maksutov Club members. The club was originally organized to make a mass purchase of custom molded Maksutov corrector blanks, but it soon became apparent that a newsletter was needed to share information on optics and practical glass working to close tolerances. From this mass of material two 350+ page books have emerged. This is volume one - Optics.
