The astro pack comes with a book on things to know about telescopes and what to buy; a star finder month-to-month guide; a star chart for constellations clusters and nebulae and a planisphere. So basically you're getting everything in one package which is great for the newbie's (like myself). All four items are neatly packed in a glossy folder for portability. I learned a lot just reading the book. It's a great book, but there are books out there that you will definately want to add to your collection like "Nightwatch" by Terrence Dickinson who I think gives even more recommendations on telescopes and what to buy. Also definatley "Left Turn at Orion". If you buy all three, you're good to go. Be sure to buy these items BEFORE purchasing a telescope. It's always good to do you homework before making a big investment. I would give it 5 stars, but after reading "Nightwatch" and "Left Turn at Orion", I find these two books simplify astronomy a little more than the astropack, but again the astropack does give great info and comes with great tools to use, but I still recommend you get the other two books in addition which got several great reviews!

I bought this for myself after watching "The Universe" on TV. It is very informative and I think it would make a great gift for someone interested in astronomy.The writing in the handbook is very small.

Very nice presentation of subject matter and not too daunting. A neat place to keep everything to prevent dust or damage. Great starter pack for kids!

Package was very well shipped. It was in as-is-description and the transaction was very smooth. Thanks for the business!
