Liz, I have you to blame for my book addiction seeing as you put me onto The Book Depository in the first place
. I never really got into reading many books before, so you've actually done a good thing by getting me into reading, and though I'm now addicted, I need to thank you.
Yes, that "Turn Left at Orion" is a great reference book". That was actually my first astro book when I joined this forum. I also enjoy reading the greek mythology attached to the constellations in that book. I knew nothing about it before and was so horrified how violent it all is up there! And my shock/horror to discover that my star sign, Cancer, got squished by Orion's foot!
I enjoy that this book isn't complicated by other stuff and keeps it simple for what it is - how to find constellations and associated greek mythology.
I think you & I ought to form a book club!
Craig, so what is Witten's Hampster all about anyway?
Good sales people eh? Maybe we might knock Oprah's Book Club out of the running after all!
And I think there's a good number of books sold that owe IIS some royalties too.
Carl, thank you, that was (as usual) a great read on how you explained Proxima Centauri. You explain things so well - I so enjoy reading your informative posts (Craig and you do a great job contributing knowledge to this forum) - I hope you will write a book one day.
By the way, I'd really like to see what a $1,000 astro book looks like/is about! Crikey!
Adrian, It's been a long wait for this book and am pleased for you that the time is finally near for delivery. What patience.
