Book Review: Wow, Holly Cow!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I paid $18 for this??? This is like 40-$50 worth of book! Huge glossy paged colorfull book (if you're looking for a pocket companion book to take with you you might want to look elsewhere, lol). This is the best bang for the buck of any book I've ever purchased at amazon. Why even bother going out to look at the beauty in the sky when it can't match the beauty of this book? lol.Book Review: Indispensable Guide To Astronomical Equipment
Summary: 5 Stars
An absolute must have, even if you are an experienced amateur, or even a professional. In my 40+ years as an amateur astronomer, I have not seen a finer guide to telescopes, eyepieces, star atlases and astro-photography! Visually stunning and crammed with useful information, by two of astronomy's better known gurus, will not disappoint.Book Review: Best beginners astronomy book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for those interested in visual astronomy with a telescope. Probably my favorite for beginners. Has excellent tips on what kind of scope to get and how to find objects to view.
Very easy to read. A must read for anyone interested in a telescope or anyone who as recently obtained one.
Book Review: Best Book There Is
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the most complete book for amatuer astronomers. I have read many good books on the subject and have a decent library but The Backyard Astronomer takes first place. Many interesting facts and bits of information are found nowhere else besides the complete knowledge on the subject and its equipment.
