Great Compact Guide

I was looking for something compact that I could fit in a pocket for those evenings when we would go out for meteor showers.I really helps pass the time to learn about the constellations, the layout was clear and the explanations brief. It's a great beginner's book.

Great for Beginners

As a novice star gazer, I was so excited when I opened this book. It gives easy to read maps of the sky, in the various seasons. It also gives a little bit of detailed information about the different constellations. My children and I have already been able to pick out things in the night sky that we have been unable to identify previously.

GREAT TO READ

A great book to read if you've ever wondered about our universe. It's writter in a way so that anybody could understand it. Read this book and you'll surely enjoy it.
