All in all, though, it offers a wonderful abundance of information that anyone reading it can take advantage of should they ever become interested in stargazing.

NetGalley, Steff Pasciuti

As usual, the Yearbook of Astronomy 2020 is a very useful reference, and with the addition of reports and historical articles by those in the field they cover it widens the books appeal to all amateur astronomers. It is therefore a must have publication for everyone interested in the active pursuit of the subject.

Peter Ashwell, Astronomical Society

A fun and interesting book that acts almost like an old fashioned almanac of the stars.

I'm very much an armchair astronomer and I think this book did a good job of straddling the expert and the amateur.

NetGalley, Lucy Angel

This promises to be a rich blend of information, start charts and night sky guides (and more), and boy does it deliver! I read the Yearbook of Astronomy 2019 not knowing the book even existed and this year’s Yearbook of Astronomy 2020 is even more informative. As a very amateur star gazer, this book gives way more information than I’ll ever need yet does it in a way that doesn’t alienate or intimate the newbie - something I feel is important.

All About Space, issue 98

Essential reading for anyone wanting to keep up to date with what's happening in the night sky. Having said that, we've had weeks and weeks of total cloud cover, often containing torrential rain, and it's been rare to see the moon, let alone any stars and constellations. Here's hoping for a drier spell in the run-up to Christmas, and a chance to identify the stars and planets that are visible to the naked eye. This is a compelling, invaluable book.

Get this book even if you are only mildly interested in Astronomy. It is informative without being overly detailed or over your head. I'm going to be using this in my Home School program.

The book is very detailed and does what it says it does. It has great articles to read through, which are understandable even if you are not well versed in astronomy. I would generally recommend this book to my students, who love the idea of exploring space.
