Review
From the reviews: "Mike Inglis is … well known from numerous amateur astronomers. With its two-book set on the Milky Way … walk along our Galaxy. … these are truly universal books that can be used by any astronomer anywhere in the World. The text is very pleasant and illustrated both by useful charts and a lot of photographies … from various sources. These two volumes constitute, for sure, good fellows for any amateur astronomer." (Philippe Spindel, Physicalia, Vol. 57 (3), 2005) "Mike’s passion for the subject shines through in his descriptions of the many coloured and double stars, star clusters … . Inglis has taken on a big task. … succeeds very well. … There are many images of deep sky objects … . Their quality is good … . The colour images are nicely reproduced … . This is a super duo of books – a well written observational reference work, recommended for all observers." (Peter Grego, Popular Astronomy, Vol. 52 (1), January-March, 2005) "The idea … is good, with an interesting selection of well described objects. … nice feature is a coloured fold-out panorama of the entire Milky Way, with constellation outlines. … In summary, this is a useful pair of books on an interesting topic. They include enough objects to keep observers busy … ." (Stewart Moore, Journal of the British Astronomical Association, Vol. 114 (3), 2004)
