Astronomy for Dummies

Dear postieman delivered this this am - bought it on BookDepository.com for $22 (delivered).
Looks like a good fun read in easy to understand terminology.
Prob too boring for the more educated of you, but hoping I will learn and relearn a bit more about things astronomical, in a fun way

I got this book from the local library about 18 months ago and it was a great read.

And an astrophotography for dummies is a fantastic idea, Jen. It might even induce me to consider giving it a go one day.
