Superb little book, buy it! 22 Jun 2009

By S. Clout

Format: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.

Gavin's wee book 6 July 2009

By Mr. C. J. Allan

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

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.

Nice book

This book is a nice way for you to understand no clouds we usually see above us. It contains some characteristics so that we can understand why they are there when we look at them.

pocket size

excellent little book and written with humour too. Only criticism would be the quality of the photographs as they don't really do the book true justice.
