"Magnificent! Images, history of Hubble, current projects and updates. I'm an avid fan of Astronomy Picture of the Day NASA on the web, and so seeing these lovely photos and reading about Hubble is a treat. Whether you use this as a "coffee table" book, or as a science book for laypeople, it is an excellent choice."
