Let's say that, if it's a pocket book then it's a good and useful book, let that be a saying!

I always used to say that if I wasn't so into Japan/East Asia that I would be an astronomer. That was until I took an astronomy class! Good thing for me this book is basic facts so everything is broken down and easier to understand though I don't think I learned anything new...
