This was a canny enough book but I think you need to be able to visualise what you're reading and without 3d help for this subject I couldn't.
I liked being able to cut chapters and he provided different levels of knowledge.
The main thing I realised was that my brain would only really grasp this subject at a Planetarium or other venue.

Really nice introductory book. Laid a nice river of gravel towards my astrophysics path back in the days.
