Title: One of the worst translation jobs ever to see print
Product review: This book was originally written in Italian, and "translated" into English by someone who had a tenuous grasp of the language at best. "The Atlas Of The Skies" is full of misprints, nonsensical phrasing, weird punctuation errors, and outright mistakes of every kind imaginable (and some that I could never have imagined, until I came across them).Several photo captions are still in their original Italian - I don't know if they were missed, or if the "translator" threw up his hands in despair, and gave up."The Atlas of the Skies" rates two stars, and those are only for the beautiful photos and excellent (though poorly annotated) diagrams it contains.I bought this book for my son, who was two at the time. I was thinking when he learned to read, the book would be there for him, and until then we would look at the pictures together. Guess we can still do the latter!
