Very descriptive and very glossy book. It's a lounge room table affair, not something you'd take with you into the field, but as an introduction to those imaginary star patterns in the sky, it's hard to beat. Deals with all 88 constellations more or less equally, which means if you want to know as much about Microscopium as you do Ursa Major, then you're in luck (though of course give Wikipedia a look-in first).
It's one of those rare pretty books that aren't all style, no substance. It just isn't a practical guide to take outdoors into the night with you.
