A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets par Jay M. Menzel Donald H.;Pasachoff
I kept the rating at a 5. It was a 5 when I bought it. I discovered I have a newer editioin, but will keep this edition for the illustrations.

Found out today that I have an earlier edition of this book. Plan to keep earlier edition.

If you're looking for plot and twists - don't pick this book up, you will be vastly disappointed.

This was my favourite astronomy text book. Full of useful information, star charts, photographic plates and everything else a young amateur astronomer would need. My copy is well travelled and well thumbed.
