Beautiful, with great in depth definition. It is almost like you are there! The floating frame definitely worth the extra money. Thank you!

This book is a Christmas present for my 11 year old grandson so it hasn't found its home yet. I enjoyed looking through it and I know he's going to love it. He's kind of a science nerd and loves learning something about everything. Thanks for the nicely packaged, quick delivery.
