N2 - Writing a spectacular astronomy book is relatively easy these days. The impressive images of the latest observations of the celestial world capture the attention even of those who may not be interested in anything else in the world. In the bookstores, one can find a wide variety of beautifully illustrated books that display all of the known members of the celestial realm.
