    'This Almanac will show you the wonders of the night sky, a sight that is becoming ever more precious with light pollution often masking our view.'
    – Bill Bryson

    'A beautiful, informative spread for every month of the year.'
    – Green Parent

    'There is a lot of information concisely offered on each well-designed page... The illustrations of the zodiacal constellations are clear and attractive, and the whole format inspires and encourages an interest in getting out to see what can be seen in the heavens when the stars are out.'
    – Journal of the Society of the Inner Light

    'With this in hand you should be able to explore the night sky and sort out Andromeda from Perseus... A really valuable asset to the amateur astronomer and a good gift for anyone with even the slightest interest in the stars. Five stars.'
