This is one of my favourite astro books (see my Amazon list). This is a new edition, with hundreds of additions, updates and even quotes from and about the Brit celebs. He's got some great new profiles here: Ian McKellen, Charlotte Church, Robson Green and Andrew Lloyd Webber. The charts are bigger than before and he uses Placidus house cusps for the 300+ horoscope wheels. The profiles are fascinating, witty and sometimes deliciously bitchy in an understated-British sort of way. It's the only book I've found that profiles famous charts and peppers the commentary with authoritative astro-vignettes. I love it.

This is really a great book, full of interesting data and profiles of hundreds of british celebrities. I found this book witty, informative and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about astrology. Although it's worthwhile for the student astrologer (like me) who needs real examples to understand the subject, it's also a great read for non-astrols because the author has researched the lives of many popular entertainers and gives dates of important life events. What he's done is to add astrological commentary so the astrology provides insight into the personalities of the famous. I loved the introduction, where he gives each planet's association with entertainment. It's obvious he's done his research.
