Ok, it is labelled as an e-book right at the end of the description, for those not savvy on the internet you will be duped into buying something you do not want. I'm sorry this unfortunate circumstance has happened, maybe clearer labelling will provide a solution. Thanks, enjoy my money. P.s what a price for an internet link, ridiculous.

I bought this as a gift for a teenager with an fairly advanced interest in astronomy and hopes of working in astrophysics . He read it, pronounced it a good book and passed it onto his brother. Who despite being younger , read it from cover to cover. I have no ldea of the content as l haven't read it myself but clearly it was well received by two teenage space enthusiasts!
