“The book seems clearly aimed at the interested and knowledgeable amateur who can navigate their way around a star chart and knows how magnitudes are defined. On the other hand, perhaps puzzlingly, it also has very basic advice about wrapping up warm when observing at night. … this is a welcome guide for those keen to spot these beautiful evanescent objects and learn more about them.” (Pippa Goldschmidt, BBC Sky at night magazine, January, 2022)
