"This is one of the best, most practical books I could recommend for the budding or amateur astronomer's bookshelf! You will find yourself returning to this gem of a resource again and again."
"The best book to start with if you are interested in really star gazing. Lots of good tips and practical information on what's up in the sky above us. Written in a very readable style."
"Being an Astronomy Lover I own a fair share of sky-gazer books. Many of them obviously cover similar aspects of the viewable universe. This one I found to be very helpful at helping a typical night watcher identify what exactly he/she is looking at in the heavens.
A great book for just the amazing photographs of the universe but a much better book for an astronomy fan or even for someone who may need a little help getting motivated to start taking a peek at the AMAZING UNIVERSE that we are traveling around in."
"This is one of or perhaps the absolute best introduction to Astronomy book. The first part of the book is "coffee table" quality with wonderful text and pictures about what is out there beyond earth. Then comes the night sky navigation section with maps for the seasons and great maps about individual constellations. The unique thing here is he lists details of objects right on the maps. This makes looking at the night sky much more fun.
If you want to introduce a person or friend to Astronomy with a gift, this book is far better than a telescope. With the section on gear, it will save you more than the price of the book when you decide to purchase Astronomy gear."
