Average rating of 5/5 Well written and very clear, 2003-02-09
This is an excellently laid out book. It's clearly written and if you use it on a month by month basis you'll know what to nip outside and look out for in the night sky, while learning something to boot.

Combine this with A Walk Through The Heavens, Collins Wild Guide Night Sky, and the Kingfisher Pocket Guide Astronomy and that ought to keep you going for quite a wee while.

All of these are fine for use with your own eyes too so you don't need expensive kit to enjoy the view.
