Thumbs up Astronomy books online

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

and

Abbeys Bookshop

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.

Hey Carl, have you had a look at this site? I have bought about 30 books this year.... including fiction, scifi, medical and astronomy. Quite cheap and delivered to your door - FREE delivery
http://www.bookdepository.com/category/1533/Astronomy-Space-and-Time

Hope ya feeling better

Goodness, the books you bought would have me asleep in 2 seconds flat!! Astronomy for Dummies is my style - ah, which I bought from BookDepository.

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!!!.

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
