Book: Turn Left at Orion by Guy Consolmagno, Dan M. Davis
Has anybody got this book, what do they think of it? - Amazon reviews
seem favourable. Is it suitable book for a UK based beginer? - the reason I ask is chapter 9 is entitled 'Southern hemisphere objects' but there is no chapter for 'Northeren hemisphere objects' - is this because the book was written for/by 'southerners' ( brings a whole new meaning to the term ;-) ) or is the book written based on northern hemisphere and this chapter is a concession to make it complete. ISBN: 0521781906 TIA Dave |
