Book Reviews of The Stars: A New Way to See Them

Book Review: Astronomy
Summary: 1 Stars

I was looking for a good star guide. I wanted something with the history and naming origins of the major stars and perhaps a bit of science. Say, they're spectral properties, and so on. Nothing like that here. Since I didn't want to spend a lot on a book unseen, I looked for one of Amazon's great bargains in a used book. Just as well I did. This book is simply awful.

Why did so many give it a 5-star rating? It's copyrighted 1952 and I doubt that there has been one bit of update. The author saw fit to illustrate the star-maps with crude handmade drawings. You've seen the type. It's basically a book for your local library's Children's Section.

Anyone who has seen a very dated, and hand-drawn book dealing with astronomy will know this kind of work. Pass it up. I'm a packrat and even at that, this book is going straight into the trash. Too bad, every book should have a home, but I just wouldn't feel right offering this book to anyone, not even my local library's book donation bin.
