I read most of New Perspectives, but it assumed more than my very basic knowledge of astrophysics, and I skimmed a bit. If I had been a little better acquainted with the subject, I think I would really have liked it. As it was, I did at least learn a few things. In particular, I hadn't appreciated how direct the path was that started with the quantum fluctuations that appeared when the Universe was the size of an atomic nucleus, and ended with galaxies. I hadn't properly understood either how common large black holes are, and that quasars mark the point, fairly early on in the history of the Universe, when the black holes formed.

It's funny to see which people you can be mistaken for. I bought the book at the Cambridge University Press bookshop in central Cambridge, near the Market. Since I have published a book with CUP, I get a 25% discount - but I must have explained this badly, because the assistant asked whether I was Martin Rees. I wish!
