Perfect for Beginners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Beautifully illustrated yet still a practical guide to viewing and navigating around the sky from anywhere during any month. Good grounding on stars, Deep Sky Objects, and solar system neighbors.
A book for beginners that's a reference for the experienced.

A large format book with full color throughout, this work takes beginning star-gazers by the hand and quickly shows them what, when, where, and how. Its detail is presented logically and intuitively such that it makes a very nice reference for the experienced amateur astronomer as well.
Well written with great photographs and charts.

This book is a great introductory book on astronomy. Not only is it replete with information on and pictures of the moon, planets, stars, nebulae, and galaxies, it is a very practical, visually-oriented guide for the amateur astronomer.
