A retrospective of Britains' foremost Astronomical artist.
"Hardyware" is a beautiful retrospect of the art and career of David A. Hardy, Britain's foremost astronomical artist.

This is a nicely set out book with 183 colour prints, b/w sketches and photographs. The narrative style of the author, Chris Morgan, is relaxed and warm with the friendship that they have shared over many years as he leads the reader through the personal and professional history of David A. Hardy.
