Hi everyone
I've got a birthday coming up, and the little lady doesn't know what to buy me.
I was thinking since we are going to loose the Hubble telescope in a few years that a book about its development, images etc. would be nice to have... Maybe a big glossy one.

Does anyone have any ideas or recommend a nice one.
:D:P:hi:
Thanks
Regards
Peter

Hi Peter,

Here is a 25th Anniversary "glossy" book that might suit:
http://www.bookdepository.com/Expanding-Universe-Owen-Edwards-Zoltan-LeVay/9783836549226?ref=grid-view

One that I enjoyed reading years ago (lots of insider information and intrigue!) was:
http://www.bookdepository.com/The-Hubble-Wars-Eric-J-Chaisson/9780674412552?ref=grid-view

I have found the Book Depository are very good with delivery times- and no postage costs too!

I hope you have a great birthday!

- Dean
