That was a very good and thorough introduction, first of our solar system, and later of the rest of the universe. I honestly mostly bought this for the pictures, which definitely didn't disappoint. Now I can gawk at pretty pictures of the galaxy all day! The only downside is how the Dutch edition claims to be published in 2012, but it hasn't been updated from the original release in 2006. That's a bit of a shame - I mean, when it comes to the moons in our solar system alone, plenty of new things have been discovered or named, and of course, not a word on Curiosity. Oh well. That's the downside to books on space in general, I suppose.
