Reference books are always hard to get right
As someone who is new to the world of stars and stuff, I thought I would give audible a whirl whilst cutting the grass and see if a book could give me some pointers.
What I would say is manage your own expectations, this is not my first rodeo and they is a lot of information to read out and get across.
Since I am learning at the moment a lot of the information went over my head but I do know from previous wanders into reference listening that it comes back to you later on when you put it into practice.
There was a little bit of repetition. I definitely know I need a red torch and plenty of warm clothing. (It’s an in joke, you will need to read the book)
All in all, I can recommend this book and I will read it again in the future after I have had a wee look at the stars.

Tough to articulate something so visual
Audible need to help make factual books like this come alive with timed visualisation, so not to depend on the imagination of the reader.

An Accompanying PDF Lol
Am I missing something?
Can Audible (or anyone) explain why the paper back version has 224 pages while the accompanying PDF has 44 pages?
Thank you in anticipation 👍
