Simple, friendly, yet comprehensive introduction to the night sky.
This book is perhaps the single-best introduction to familiarization with the sky. Its three major sections are: highlights of a few constellations at a time, all-sky charts for orientation throughout the year, and an introduction to enough celestial mechanics to understand why we see what we do and when. Rey's concise explanations are wordsmithed such that complex concepts can be understood with just a little effort. I purchase these books in batches to give away or resell at cost, and everyone seems to agree with the assessment above.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The book will work because it can be read but it’s certainly not “unread”. I would say it’s in fair condition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
