If you would like an idea of the view you will get, but don't want to order a book, there are sketches of each messier object here

well, i finally got "turn left at Orion" - its not a hardcopy but a PDF. (free)
very interesting - should be a good read. only downside is that i cant bring it anywhere with me!
