Excellent short reference book for predicting weather. I'll have this on my iPad when I go sailing next.

[Thomas Schulte · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very technical reference. Probably its most useful part for the layman is the central portion where verso is a consist tabular set of details and inferences to make with the recto, full-page photograph of common cloud formations.

[Bern J · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short book, lots of information, lots of photos. It's all in reading the clouds.

[Jonathan · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a short and very technical guide. Limited purpose, but good for that. Active sailors and perhaps campers are the main audience.

Such a good book - It was a really helpful resource for writing my own book. I love the large, easy to see cloud photos!
