 Outstanding value
This is an excellent text for astronomers who want to know what's up there and were to look for it. The author does an excellent job at walking the reader through the sky and knowing where to look and what to look for. It will remain to be seen, however, if all the objects/sights the author claims she can see with her small scope are actually visible from my own backyard.

Very easy to read and understand
Sue is actually my aunt (through marriage) and we received a copy of her book as a gift from our grandparents (her parents) before it was even released for sale. We were never big star gazers but after reading her book we really found the book easy to read and came to realize all that we have been missing! Can't say enough great things about our Aunt and all her talent!! She is truly an amazing author and person!

New to stargazing ( flaco )
I recently got a telescope and purchased several books to help me get started viewing the night sky. This book is the one that I use the most. I find the information it contains very useful and the star hopping is a great help in locating objects that I want to view.

great item to take on vacation ( lrbabb )
I like the columns. I travel frequently. A comfortably sized easy guide for binoculars seemed the right thing.
When your child asks for a telescope, this would be one of the two books to accompany that first optical instrument.

Celestial Sampler ( pguttman )
Visual equivalent to a sampler box of chocolates; every bite is a delight! This guide is a must for those who observe with a small telescope.
