It was the book which taught me the constellations. Does anyone know
why the guy (E.C.Krupp I think) who writes for "Sky & Telescope" is so
vindictive about this excellent book (on a few occasions inlcuding a
few months ago)? Could it have anything to do with the adaption of
the old "Sky & Telescope" charts? Like Norman I heartily recommend it
if you're a beginner sky watcher.
