🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:
"While we also carry the Expanded Edition of this title, I really appreciate this classic version for its sheer portability. It's the ideal size to slide into a backpack for a weekend camping trip to dark skies, or just to keep by the back door for those spontaneous, clear-sky evenings. Dean Regas breaks the night sky down into incredibly approachable, bite-sized pieces. Whether you're hunting for the International Space Station or trying to map out Orion, this little book is a fantastic, straightforward companion under the stars."
