Book Description
THE CLOUD COLLECTOR'S HANDBOOK fits into the pocket, allowing cloudspotters to identify cloud formations anytime and anywhere. All the common cloud types are represented, as are many of the rare ones, each fully described and illustrated with a range of photographs. Not only is THE CLOUD COLLECTOR'S HANDBOOK an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to be able to identify and understand every cloud that floats by, it also caters for the competitive cloudspotter. Points are awarded for each cloud type identified - the rarer the cloud, the greater points - and there's space to fill in where and when it was sighted. Beautifully designed, in colour throughout, and full of the humour that made THE CLOUDSPOTTER'S GUIDE so engaging, the HANDBOOK is the essential reference for anyone with their head in the clouds.

Cloud Collectors Handbook,
By
This review is from: Cloud Collectors Handbook (Hardcover)
The Cloud Collector's Handbook and the Cloudspotter's Guide make me laugh, remind me to not take life so seriously and to keep looking up at the beauty that's above. Gavin Pretor-Pinney writes with such humour and obviously has a wealth of knowledge about all-things-cloud related. He established the Cloud Appreciation Society and there's even more of his great humour on the web site: cloudappreciationsociety.org.

The Cloud Collector's Handbook,
By C. Green "BOOKOO" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cloud Collectors Handbook (Hardcover)
I was looking for a way to connect with my 10 yr old grandson. This bookhas been just the thing. We have been able to use the book to gain points as we "collect" different types and formations of clouds. We compare notes and meet at McDonalds to discuss and see what we have collected. I have learned alot about clouds and have come to appriciate them more. The book is well written and the pictures are great. There is even a "cloud" web site to go to. Share a cloud with your children or grandchildren. It's fun!! 19 of 20 people found the following review helpful

Who would have thought that you could get so much enjoyment out of a little book about clouds? I got this as a gift and am completely enchanted. I thought I already knew a lot about clouds but this book has taught me so much! In particular, I knew the major groups, but there are dozens of cloud varieties that I am learning to recognize. Fun fun fun!

At last! Somewhere to put all those clouds,

This review is from: Cloud Collectors Handbook (Hardcover)
This little handbook is a great extension from the Cloud Spotter's Guide. It is compact and robust enough to cart around with you, and has the same wit and concise information that made our Founder's guide so enjoyable. It suggests that as you accumulate clouds, you can take photos of them, and link the notes to the photos. This will allow us to compete aggressively with other cloud spotters in amassing beautiful and exotic clouds. I have only just started, but I think this is going to turn me into a cloud connoisseur. The photo examples in the book are very clear, and it has an image index at the back to help you work out what has taken your fancy.CAS Member No.: 15980 |
