Top reviews from the United States

  • Great book to gift with a telescope.
    Gave the grandkids a telescope and this book really gets them interested in studying the night sky. Pictures are interesting and the information is very educational. The kids and parents were happy to have this book to aid in the use of their telescope.
  • Good all around
    Awesome book with good information and explanations.
  • Impressive!
    A great learning resource for "first telescope" viewers! It's a great reading guide for anyone curious about what's above us.
  • A Bit Hard to Read
    Packed with lots of great info. A bit hard to read with small, gray text.
  • Excellent Book to learn more about the night sky - Just wish the font was little larger
    Other than the font is a little small for me, I really enjoyed the content and layout of the book along with graphics and notes on basically every page. Well worth the money if you want to learn more about the night sky. However, larger font would have made it a larger book and not as easy to hold and read.
  • Classic
    As many said it’s a great read though more for armchair astronomers than amateur ones.
  • Great info
    Great guide
  • A must
    Easy to understand
