The Cloud Collector's Handbook by Gavin Pretor-Pinney

5.0

Cloud collecting is my favorite hobby. I've always enjoyed watch the clouds, always considered myself a bit of a wonderbug, and have always had more pictures of clouds than people on my camera. Then one day when I was researching a supernumerary rainbow I had seen I came across the Cloud Appreciation Society, and subsequently, this book. Its forever changed the way I look at clouds. I've learned so much more about the different types, and the acquisition of bonus points for collecting is both fun and hilarious.

The book itself has a great way of presenting information, its both in awe of the clouds and often amusing, while also explaining the scientific facts behind different formations and good clues of how to spot them. The points system is a blast. The pictures are gorgeous.

Its easily worth the money you spend on it and the weight in the backpack.
