Book Reviews of Touring the Universe through Binoculars: A Complete Astronomer's Guidebook (Wiley Science Editions)

Book Review: Practical tips for the novice stargazers, handy reference
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is a great way for someone to develop a life-long interest in stargazing. The author has obviously acquired his knowledge first-hand, and passes along practical advice and a passion for the hobby. This book also holds up as a field and desk reference. In my house it is on the shelf next to my red flashlight and 7x50's, ready for a clear night.
