Found this on another site, and have been having a read for awhile.
Lots of books there, and for those on a budget, its a great site.

.... sorry, always forget how to do little links.
OK, back to 'The Idiots Guide to Astronomy' ;)

If you want to find some really good astronomy books to read, try these two sites

www.fishpond.com.au (http://www.fishpond.com.au/)

and

Abbeys Bookshop (http://www.abbeys.com.au/categories.asp?id=2012&name=Astronomy,%20space%20&%20time)

The titles there should keep you all really busy :)

I just bought 4 books from Fishpond...."Meteorites, A Petrological, Chemical and Isotopic Synthesis", "The Galaxies of the Local Group", "Classification of Stellar Spectra" and "Mind in the Balance"....about $500 worth.

Just gone to have a look at the site :)

Nah...they shouldn't put you to sleep!!!. I've got another book.."Planetary Systems" coming soon as well. That set me back $150.

Feeling a bit better than I did earlier in the week but I'm still not over it, yet. I'm sweating like anything today....looks like I took a shower in my clothes!!!.

The books at the site a pretty cheap compared to other places!!!. There's quite a few books there, Liz, you could sink your teeth into without going over your head...even some of the textbooks there I know about which would be alright :)

Carl, I dont know how they do it for the price, some are really cheap in the fiction area.
Think I have bought 3 astronomy books there, nothing too involved ;)



Good on you Ron!!



No worries Molly. Between myself and the girls at work, we have bought bucketloads of books .... wonderful. :)
