Moore, Patrick : The Southern Stars

(Cape Town: Howard B. Timmins, 1972)

Small folio; original blue boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; endpaper star charts; pp. 159, incl. index; lavishly illustrated, with photographs (many of which in colour), charts, tables, etc. Dustwrapper slightly rubbed, with edges a little curled; some spotting. Very good condition. "What I am anxious to do in this book is to tell you something about the universe, and how you can begin to explore it. Only when a start has been made is it possible to appreciate the full splendour and fascination of the sky. I am not suggesting that you should make a task of it, or spend your evenings in intense concentration; only the select few will do that! But if you will bear with me for the first few pages, I hope that the stars will take a grip on you, and that the next time you find yourself under a starlit sky you will pause to look upward rather than shrug your shoulders and go indoors."
