Did one buy the Carroll and Ostlie text?

Donald Clayton authored an older classic on stellar astrophysics.

A book by Hansen Kawaler and Trimble (2004) seems to be the current preference.

One should browse the TOC's and Google books before deciding to purchase.

I do have Carroll and Ostlie, and I do love it, but I'd like to supplement it with something higher level. I'll check out the other ones you mentioned. Thanks!
