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 Society 'I have not seen a better first guide to amateur astronomy.' Malcolm Gough, The Observatory 'The fifth edition of this popular guide to the night sky updated with data for up to the year 2004.
