Star Atlas Question

Hello,

I did the dumbist thing I've done in quite a while. I tossed out my Skalnate-Pleso and Atlas 2000. I want mention the first three words I muttered when I realized what I had done.

Fortunately, my Norton's Star Atlas which I purchased as a young teenager in 1962 wasn't thrown away. The charts on that one, btw, are a lot better than the present version,imho.

Anyway, I remember a discussion here about a star atlas that contained three other star atlases. I have searched for the thread and done a Google and Yahoo search and can't locate it.

Can anyone help me locate it by giving me its name and where I may order it.
.
Thank you.

Uranometria also has three levels, a bright star atlas with Messiers, the main book, and the close-ups of the busiest areas (Pleiades, Coma-Virgo cluster etc).
