I purchased this book after accidently finding the more famous of asterisms, the "coathanger," a few months ago. While astronomy naturally provides educational and more hard-core scientific pursuits, this book addresses the more joyful aspects of the hobby. It makes it easy for those entering the hobby by providing them with a low-stress method of learning some easier and larger targets. I like the way the asterisms are shown in several examples, each. The author uses artwork, starcharts and line drawings, giving the reader a clear pattern to search for. I found about four or five my first night out. Most importantly, they have helped me learn the night sky in more depth than I had previously.
