Excellent Supplement, Sep 6 2008
By Danny "dannyza" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac (Paperback)
Its information is useful, thought out, consistent and reliable. It was ordered in a similar fashion to the Almanac, which made cross-referencing easy. Its comments, although somewhat brief in places, are very helpful, and its citation of sources, very helpful. All in all, I was thoroughly impressed with it, and its soft-cover a good choice, since the binding has yet to be a problem. (I bought this in 2007).I am very happy with it, and constantly refer to it. It is a standard reference piece in any astronomer's library.
