Hey,
I'm looking for a really good book on our solar systems planets. One that
has a good bit of "techincal data" like masses and orbit periods and
compositions and moons, etc. But, also one that has a good selection of the
stunning pictures we've gotten in the last 10 or 20 years from all the
probes. Does anyone have a suggestion for ONE book that has all this? If
not, do you have suggestions for TWO books where each one fulfills half of
the requirement? Thanks for any and all suggestions. Let me know what books
you thought were the most informative and "prettiest".

Moons and Planets by William K. Hartmann. Excellent book. Somewhat of an
intro text book to planetary science. Lots of info. Easy to digest.
Sorry, no pretty pictures though.
