I have read quite a few books on Astronomy over the years but have always felt that I had miissed a couple of chapters because they introduced terms and information which I prehaps should have known. I was therefore really pleased when I began reading this book as it starts from the very beginning and assumes nothing. That being said, it introduces the basics quickly and with good detailed explanations which are easy to follow and doesn't bog you down with too much technical jargon.It manages to cover a lot of ground given the size of the book and gives some really worthwhile practical advice to the novice stargazer.

Well laid out and an excellent reference book, bought after attending a presentation by the author in Glasgow Science Centre Planetarium. That experience was amazing.

Love this book! Was recently bought a huge telescope and whilst I love astronomy ... finding stars and nebulas is a whole new ball game. This book not only explains astronomy facts but also how to find and track things in the sky. It's in basic understandable language.I don't know how I would have found anything without this book!

Really good book, laid out very simply so easy to understand. Has great hints and tips on setting up a telescope, where to start when looking up at the stars. It has diagrams inside to help understand what is being talked about. Would definitely recommend as a starter book for anyone interested I'm stargazing

Great book for a beginner. Has helped me to start out as I learn my constellations and some challenges for me too. Easy to understand, easy to follow and exactly as the title says. Clear explanations of terms, and I now sound a bit like a pro. Well, to non star gazers I definitely do!
