Title: Great book.
Review: I received this book for Christmas as a child in 1960. Back then, the mental geometry needed to compensate for the distortion resulting from projecting a hemisphere onto a plane (like a planisphere) was more than I could handle. This book uses charts that look just like the sky does to the eye, and uses a simple system for guiding the reader as to what direction to face and how high above the horizon to look. Even as a kid, it was easy with this book.Over decades of looking at the sky, including a stint working in a planetarium, I've never found an easier approach than the one taken by Neely. If you haven't learned at least the major constellations, you should. You'll never regret the small effort it will take with this book.And yes, I still have my well-worn copy I received almost 50 years ago.
