I am using this book for my Astronomy class and it does have a lot of very good information in it. It is also easy to read and understand. They include pictures and diagrams which also help out. I am 4 weeks into my class and I am glad we are using this book.

The person who sold me this book is a life saver! I need this book for my college class and as we all know college books are a rip-off! I saved $70 buying this book from here! Thank you!
