5.0 out of 5 stars Concise Astronomical Data, January 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Observer's Handbook 2002 (Paperback)

This book is an excellent collection of data for 2002, although somewhat sparse in graphics, which are far better in Guy Ottewell's Astronomical Calendar 2002 from the Universal Workshop.... This book is an excellent size for outdoor use, and is a very good value for the price. It is not designed for beginners, but is a complete collection of data for any amateur astronomer...
