Book Reviews of The Backyard Astronomer's Guide
Book Review: 2008 Stargazer Textbook / Encyclopedia / Comsumer's Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
This newly updated version of The Backyard Astronomers Guide is up to date, relevant, and comprehensive. It is particularly useful for helping Astronomers navigate the many, many, many brands, styles, and sizes of telescopes and equipment. It will help the reader know what equipment is needed and what is unnecessary. For this reason alone it is useful. I have been involved in astronomy for quite some time and when I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down until I had finished it.
