My particular version has a different isbn: 978-1-4053-6174-3

As expected, this is cram-packed with illustrations and some stunning photography, pretty much a must for any sky-watcher.

becoming such a stargazer, it isn't that difficult for you to try. I really love this one, it is more than just what I was expected.

Best guide I've found for identifying constellations.

This guidebook describes the night sky visible to the naked eye in month-by-month detail from January to December. It is very detailed with images.

A must-see for those who love astronomy and stargazing.

I got this book when I was 10 mostly because I liked to pictures inside and I understood 0 of the hard wording used in the book. Now 5 years later Its easy for me to understand and quite interesting and I am actually quite happy I got it back then. Well, now I know its a book targeted to teenagers due to the hard wording used in the book
