From the reviews: "This volume is so crammed with information that the index is a very welcome addition. ... This provides you with a rich background about objects you can see ... . It ... deals with the constellations, giving charts, photos and informative text describing the binocular delights within." (Mark Parrish, Sky at Night Magazine, April, 2010) "Book such as this , subtitled '250+ wonderful sky objects to see and explore' , will attract the attention of many a skygazer. ... I expect that many potential readers will wonder, as I did, how much of this material is truly necessary in a book supposedly aimed at users of 10 x 50 binoculars. ... It is undoubtedly an impressive achievement ... . As if to underline this, the book ends with a list of basic objects for beginners ... ." (Ian Ridpath, The Observatory, Vol. 130, August, 2010)
