Boyfriend loved it

I bought this as gift for my space loving boyfriend. He was very excited to read it. He told me it describes basic astrophysics and he picked up a few new bits of knowledge while confirming stuff he already knows. (And the fact that I got a brand new book for him for less then the cover price is wonderful for me!)
