Book Reviews of Star Maps for Beginners: 50th Anniversary Edition

Book Review: The best star map book - by far!
Summary: 5 Stars

...I've probably bought at least a dozen copies over the years, for myself, for friends. It's the only star map book I've ever seen in which the maps actually look like the night sky. Very easy to use. Very well written. Has a wonderful selection of star myths and also clear, elementary explanations of the science. Highly recommended.
