Quite a small book (so easier to hold and refer to) and just about the right level for a beginner. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband loves this *by M***S on 27 April 2017* I bought this for my husband after he completed an astronomy course as a hobby. It came on time although was a little thinner than I had thought. My husband loves that he can just dive in here and there and read whatever he's interested in that day - there's no set way to read it like chapters etc. The pictures are beautiful and it's very easy to read; particularly for the novice. The paper, however, has a shiny overlay and so some pages do stick together. All in all a really good and useful book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stargazing: Beginners Guide to Astronomy - National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Night Sky, 2nd Edition (National Geographic Backyard Guides) - Guide to the Stars --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48910397-stargazing-beginner-s-guide-to-astronomy](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48910397-stargazing-beginner-s-guide-to-astronomy) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
