Book Reviews of Celestial Treasury: From the Music of the Spheres to the Conquest of Space

Book Review: Celestial Treasury
Summary: 5 Stars

I have just bought this book which really is a treasury in every sense of the word. With its giant format and its collection of amazing oldworld and modern pictures and illustrationms it is a pleasure to flip through the pages and see the splendours of the Universe as Mankind has interpreted them through the ages.
I can't wait until I get time to sit down and read the text of the book in detail.
A "must have" book for all lovers of our amazing Universe and our understanding of how it works.
