The author has been sky-watching since the mid 1970's. He's Assistant Director of the British Astronomical Society, so if anyone is able to take you on a tour of the night sky, Peter Grego is the man. Here is a quite handy little book for the midnight rambler, armed with binoculars or up to 200mm telescope, to observe the solar system objects.
Full of very useful advice gained from years at the eyepiece. The book not only covers the sun, moon and planets, but comets, meteors and asteroids as well.
Another valuable member of the Philip's catalog to keep on the bookshelf.
