New Book by Best Selling Author, Timothy Ferris

For those of you who are clouded in Jan-March like us Puget Sound
observers, may I recommend you pre order Ferris' newest book. I just
put my order in and will devour it when I receive it.

Also if you saw the movie "Seeing in the Dark" but neglected to read
the book, may I recommend you read it this winter. The original
release of the book was of the same name, but it had been subtitled
"How Amateur Astronomers Are Discovering the Wonders of the
Universe". New editions dropped the subtitle, but I loved it. The
movie is just a very short teaser for the book. I've read it three
times. The Boeing Employees' Astronomical Society has given it away
to a dozen BEAS speakers and guests. Everyone of them has loved it.
