Recensione

'These two volumes, together, constitute amazingly good observational guides for the serious amateur astronomer.' Spaceflight

' ... serious astronomy for the serious amateur astronomer ... This is an indispensable volume for practical astronomy ... it is recommended for all libraries.' Reference Reviews

'This two-part observer's guide is the most comprehensive that this reviewer has encountered, well-illustrated and with a very readable text ... any aspiring amateur would do well to obtain both volumes as a reference text, which would stand them in good stead for years to come.' Richard Miles, Journal of the BAA

'This is a gem of a book ... it is a grand smorgasbord of material for the advanced amateur astronomer ... Each of the ten chapters is meant to stand alone as an independent unit ... this way the reader does not have to digest the entire book in order to get to what he/she needs to observe ... The book is quite irresistible ... well written, well organised and nicely cross-referenced ... highly recommend this book to any serious observer. It was worth the pain of writing a review just to get my hands on a copy of it!' Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada
