'‘Crammed with fascinating facts and figures’ ' - Observatory Magazine
'‘This is the book to reignite your sense of wonder’' - National Space Society
'‘Good reading … I can do no more than strongly recommend it’' - Astronomy Now
'While being consistent and fluid as a whole, each chapter equally serves as a perfect stand-alone essay … it’s an excellent book to see the amateur astronomer through those cloudy nights. Five stars' - BBC Sky at Night
