Well 25 years in Astrology I think I can speak first hand about what makes a good Ephemeris. First and foremost preface by Robert Hand my favorite Astrologer. The fact that the book stays open when you open it work with it. The pages are big and the print is easy to read. When you work with the Ephemeris daily as we do these are important factors. Yes I have purchased other Ephemeris's over the years. But we always come back to this book. I can say we have travelled extensively with these books and they stand up to that punishment well. The reason for the purchases was not that the book wore out. Our office burnt down last year, so we need to replace all of or books. We decided to wait for these to become available again. don't ever take them out of print they are to valuable to us Astrologers world wide

the book was very informative and accurate

How can a reader who wrote in May, 2000, characterize an ephemeris which does not commence until January of 2001 as being "accurate"? The only way we can know such a book to be "accurate" is to test it vis-a-vis the skies over a period of time. Maybe by 2040 we'll be able to toast with champagne, and say, "Aye, but it's been an accurate ephemeris." I trust readers will forgive me for writing a review without having yet seen the book, and understand that I gave it five stars because I like the number five, and in a spirit of optimistic anticipation of what I hope will be half a century of accurate astronomical information. Besides, one *uses* an ephemeris; I never heard of anyone reading one.
