OK in the US in the Nineties - not now in the UK - By: Dan Palmer, 09 Sep 2003 
I am not knocking this book's factual contents, the charts seem nice & clear & there is interesting info on the mythology & science of the constellations.
But, the book is aimed at those living at 40 degrees north (for Americans, primarily) so isn't really right for the UK. Also the guides to the positions of the planets are out of date, so that important section is no use at all.
The best star map book - by far! - By: Rick Mark, 20 Jun 2000 
...I've probably bought at least a dozen copies over the years, for myself, for friends. It's the only star map book I've ever seenin which the maps actually look like the night sky. Very easy to use. Very well written. Has a wonderful selection of star myths & also clear, elementary explanations of the science. Highly recommended.
