Hi GB
Yes I'm honoured that two and a half of my efforts have been included. I even feel quite inspired to write something new.

Just to say I received my copy of Space and Space Travel today.

I really love it. I really reeeeeely love it.

I love the shiny cover, and the layout and everything.

It's light enough to put in my daypack and take to a cafe to study all the articles and pictures.

And I can also arrange it elegantly on the coffee table in the evenings, and it can tell me things.

Its a lovely book, and thanks so much to everyone who was involved in its production.

It's rather heavy reading despite the really good writing. When I write a review, I might point that out, along with a hope that when the revised edition comes out there will be far more (and larger) illustrations. Granted, I am industrious in my reading habits, but there may be a large group of readers who will enjoy it more if they can look at the pictures and do less reading. smiley - biggrin

(Yes, I know I'm a heretic.)

Do you have to approve reviews or something for them to show? Because whenever I stop by, it says there are no reviews. I even opened Chrome, which I've never gone onto Amazon from, to make sure it wasn't a cache deal from my end (not following the link--putting "Hitchhikers Guide Earth" into Amazon's search box) If there's a problem on that end, it should probably be fixed...

There are no US reviews. smiley - laugh To see the UK reviews, you have to visit Amazon UK.

It would be nice if a US reader would add a US review, hint...smiley - winkeye

I'll see what I can do, but since I bought it from Amazon U.S., why should I review it on Amazon UK?
