Product Description

Review

'Has all the quirky humour that made the last one a bestseller' (thelondonpaper )

'Small enough to fit in your pocket, and with a good dollop of humour, it's the perfect companion for a gloomy day' (New Scientist )

'Float away with this unstuffy guide to all things fluffy...cloud anoraks and children will love the spotting and scoring - but the real joy is having an excuse to relax and think nothing more than, 'Oh, there goes another one.' (Good Housekeeping )

'The perfect book for people who should get out more' (Western Daily Press )

Product Description

THE CLOUD COLLECTOR'S HANDBOOK fits into the pocket, allowing cloudspotters to identify cloud formations anytime and anywhere. All the common cloud types are represented, as are many of the rare ones, each fully described and illustrated with a range of photographs. Not only is THE CLOUD COLLECTOR'S HANDBOOK an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to be able to identify and understand every cloud that floats by, it also caters for the competitive cloudspotter. Points are awarded for each cloud type identified - the rarer the cloud, the greater points - and there's space to fill in where and when it was sighted.
 
Beautifully designed, in colour throughout, and full of the humour that made THE CLOUDSPOTTER'S GUIDE so engaging, the HANDBOOK is the essential reference for anyone with their head in the clouds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb little book, buy it!, 22 Jun 2009
By 
S. Clout - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Cloud Collector's Handbook (Hardcover)
This is a superb little book and is the ideal companion for when you are out and about cloud spotting. It's just the right size to put in a pocket too. The book is packed with great pictures and gives a brief but very descriptive write-up on the cloud in question. There is also a space to fill out where and when you spotted a certain cloud with points awarded too, this could be handy for children (and competitive adults!) if they have a general interest in the weather.

This book will be constantly by my side as I'm sure it will get used daily. For those of you who want to look at more clouds don't forget to have a look at the Cloud Appreciation web site where there is a huge selection of photos.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gavin's wee book, 6 July 2009
By 
This review is from: The Cloud Collector's Handbook (Hardcover)
A nice compact but comprehensive wee book. I keep one at home and one in the car. Illustrations quite small and not up to photo quality but sufficient to distinguish the differences.
