Title: Very complete but with rough spots.
Product review: This is a somewhat disorganized, but very good beginners volume. Suffers from inconsistent provision of star and constellation pronunciations in last few months, occasional lapses of continuity between dated text and figures, lots of repetition - the latter not all bad for beginners. Cygnus figures far overdone in quantity - appeared on 14 of the 17 pages for August . October month section contains outstanding explanation and illustrations of celestial sphere and stellar movements with respect to observers location, and extremely useful and lucid graphic and textual explanation of RA, declination, azimuth and elevation relationships. Best I have seen in other volumes, mostly of much higher price. Got the impression Ramo got tired of the project along about September when things started going a bit downhill on pronunciations and content. Altogether a good buy for beginners.
