Twinkle twinkle!
Bought this book for our daughter last Christmas, fantastic! Beautiful book, lovely detail and easy to read. Eye catching text and picures - just a great book for young and old.

out of date, out of place and rubbish
The star guides only go up to 2004, the book is designed for sky-scapes seen from the USA and the artwork is not great either. Not recommended.
