Average rating of 5/5 The best star map book - by far!, 2000-06-20
...I've probably bought at least a dozen copies over the years, for myself, for friends. It's the only star map book I've ever seen in which the maps actually look like the night sky. Very easy to use. Very well written. Has a wonderful selection of star myths and also clear, elementary explanations of the science. Highly recommended.

Average rating of 1/5 OK in the US in the Nineties - not now in the UK, 2003-09-09
I am not knocking this book's factual contents, the charts seem nice and clear and there is interesting info on the mythology and science of the constellations.

But, the book is aimed at those living at 40 degrees north (for Americans, primarily) so isn't really right for the UK. Also the guides to the positions of the planets are out of date, so that important section is no use at all.
