Galaxies a dud by Thomas Erickson  2 Stars
November 03, 2009
Do not like the book. Took a gambel there would be some reference information I could use as an amateur astronomer...NOT. Its a kids book. Poor quality pictures. I have seeen quality galaxy pictures and these were not it. Big type to take up space. Very basic descriptions. I already knew 95% what author wrote. Very dissapointed. Will give book to my nephew as birthday present. That way his mom can show him the pictures and read the basic descriptions.At least someone will get enjoyment from it. No real substance to use as a reference book. Good for a 7 or 8 year old only. Even if your a new amateur astronomer you will want more meat and potatoes about Galaxies than this book offers.
Save your money on this one. You can find a better book on Galaxies for grownups. Book is good for young children or parents showing and reading to young children,

Good for beginers  5 Stars
July 27, 2000
I gave this book 5 starss for its good look into galaxies, what they look like the different types. This book is good for childeren who are interested in space and want to learn more about galaxies. This book is definently for kids, or adults who know just about nothing of galaxies. It gives you a good look at all the different kinds of galaxies and the diffent forms they come in. I think that this book is great for all the people out there who have no idea what a galaxy is made of or how hey formed into what they are today. If you are really interested in learning things about space, I recomend the book stars. It tells you just about everything you need to know about stars and what they are made of. There are many other space books out there that will teach you just about everything you need to know. This book is good for just aobut everybody who is just start to learn.Over all this is a good book to have even if youre not interested in space, it still has great pictures to hang on the wall.
