Reviews
Read is a telescope evangelist, producing books and videos aimed at inspiring people to 'see what the sky has to offer.' --Atlantic Books Today (11/30/2018) I love astronomy and found Read's book absolutely amazing. The inclusion of actual photos taken by the author brought the book closer to what the backyard astronomer will find. Filled with star facts, hints on finding it, and wonderful background images makes this book enjoyable and inspirational to any reader. -- (12/31/2018) It was helpful, practical, and came with great pictures. It is a short book aimed at amateur stargazers and children and I would definitely recommend this book to those groups. I am a pre-amateur stargazer with young children and I can't wait to show them this book and look for constellations together. -- (01/03/2019)
