Reviews / Votes

'Wil Tirion's charts are justly famous. With Ian Ridpath's words, the combination is hard to beat.' Popular Astronomy 'For those who want to learn about the constellations and bright stars this book is all that they'll need.' Astronomy Now '... charts big and detailed enough to be used easily ...' Sky Publishing Corporation 'What adds greatly to the value of the Guide is the obvious enthusiasm of the authors and their ability to convey it.' Journal of the British Astronomical Association 'I have not seen a better first guide to amateur astronomy.' Malcolm Gough, The Observatory 'It is an excellent practical introduction to finding one's way around the sky; ... I can recommend this book very strongly.' Robert Connon Smith, The Observatory 'The fact that this book is in its sixth edition should be evidence enough of its reference value (never mind the reprintings of previous editions).' Sky & Telescope 'I heartily recommend this book to anyone (in North temperate latitudes) seeking to learn the night sky for the first time.' The Observatory '... this easy-to-use handbook is an ideal first guide to the sky ...'. Orion
