Abstract
The subject of astronomical masers is now more than forty years old, and as a consequence, several good reviews have appeared in print. For the readers who want to enter the subject of astronomical masers in a serious way, we want to recommend two reviews (Elitzur 1982; Reid and Moran 1988) and a book (Elitzur 1992a). They contain reviews of the observations as well as the basic ideas and equations that will enable the readers to comprehend the research papers on the subject. The most recent review in the Annual Reviews of Astronomy and Astrophysics is that of Elitzur (1992b).
