WILEY Stargazing For Dummies

Clearly written for those interested in learning more about astronomy. Sparks interest and enthusiasm in my grand children.

Definitely helps to locate the stars up there. But a book on Astronomy without pictures is kind of dumb. You wouldn't like to go back again.

A nice and simple to read guide to the night sky which is perfect for a beginner astronomer. It also makes a great present.

The book came in good condition

I have read quite a few books on Astronomy over the years but have always felt that I had miissed a couple of chapters because they introduced terms and information which I prehaps should have known. I was therefore really pleased when I began reading this book as it starts from the very beginning and assumes nothing. That being said, it introduces the basics quickly and with good detailed explanations which are easy to follow and doesn't bog you down with too much technical jargon. It manages to cover a lot of ground given the size of the book and gives some really worthwhile practical advice to the novice stargazer.
