The ultimate companion guide to a legendary astronomical library.
Sir Patrick Moore was one of the greatest popularizers of astronomy in history, presenting the BBC's The Sky at Night for over half a century and writing approximately 200 books. Because many of his earlier works are now out of print and highly sought after by antiquarian book collectors, assembling a complete picture of his written legacy is incredibly difficult.
This massive, 628-page hardcover isn't a traditional biography—it is a comprehensive appraisal and reference guide to Sir Patrick's vast catalog of work. Published to commemorate the centenary of his birth, it is designed to be dipped into rather than read cover-to-cover. Whether you are a dedicated collector hunting down his rare antiquarian releases or a lifelong fan of his television broadcasts, this volume provides a fascinating taste of his life's work.

🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:
"I will be completely honest—when this hefty hardcover first arrived at the shop, I thought I was sitting down to read a sweeping biography of the man himself! But once I cracked it open, I realized it is actually an incredibly detailed reference manual for his library of books. Sir Patrick Moore inspired generations of amateur astronomers (myself included) to drag a telescope into the backyard. If you are a fan of his work, or a serious collector trying to track down his out-of-print classics, this is a fantastic reference book to keep on the shelf and flip through."
