Malin, David: The Infinite Universe
A stunning book. Malin's photography is, as
you would expect, excellent. The accompanying text perfectly complements it.
Quite possibly the most beautiful astronomy book ever produced — if you're
going to have one "coffee table" book, get this one!
Moore, Patrick: Fireside Astronomy
From mythology to HST discoveries to advice on greeting an alien.
