This book started me down the path which has culminated in taking a distance learning course in cosmology. It was first published in the 1970's and accompanied a BBC TV series. Much of the information has been superseded but it has a foundational role. The literal style is typical of the 1970's and the book is peppered with statistics and images which are lacking in modern equivalents. I have bought it as a curio and a reminder of my childhood. The book arrived promptly in the UK from the American retailer and it was in a condition which was better than described. This was a pleasant surprise and instills confidence in the seller.
