The Complete Idiot's Guide to Astronomy (Complete Idiot's Guide To...)
Christopher G. De Pree, Alan Axelrod
Reading this book helped me decide on what telescope to buy, where to find the most popular stellular sights, and how to be a smart and patient astonomer. It is in lamen's terms, so it was very easy to comprehend. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to pursue astronomy, or even anyone who just wants to learn a bit more about our universe.
