A great beginner's book for stargazing!

If you know nothing about stargazing and are looking for a book to get started, then this book is for you. W. S. Kals shows you his system in an easy to understand manner. Other books sometimes don't let you see the forest for the trees, but this book gives you the big picture. This is an extremely well written book
