[Ian · Rating 4 out of 5]

My college Astronomy text. Still my go to reference, though somewhat dated (we won't mention the whole Pluto debacle). It still has the basics, so I have used it to the point it's coming to pieces (inferior binding). Well illustrated, including many of the then new spectacular photos of Mars and the outer planets from the early probes. Fond memories

I borrowed it from my friend at church. Compelling one to read!
