Book Reviews of Astronomy Today (6th Edition)
Book Review: How Complete?
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the Astronomy Today:Stars and Galaxies, 4th edition paperback several years ago. Amazon lists the HARDBOUND 6th edition as having 848 pages, while the 6th edition two section paperbacks have a total of 1024 pages listed. I have NOT SEEN the 6th edition so I don't know what the 176 pages consist of.
