Condition: Fine (F). First Edition, Signed by Author. Pristine, unread, and exceptionally well preserved. Hardcover boards are immaculate with no rubbing, no edge wear, and no shelf wear; however, there is a tiny chip on the lower right corner of the front cover that is very small and unobtrusive. Binding is tight, square, and crisp; spine is flawless with no visible signs of handling. All 147 pages are bright, clean, and immaculate no markings, underlining, or highlighting. Approximately 40 pages show a minor fold along the right edge, a subtle production or printing related quirk rather than damage. Overall, a sharp, collector quality first printing with only minimal, well disclosed imperfections. An informative guide for beginning and experienced stargazers interested in exploring the wonders of the Michigan night sky. The book features seasonal constellation charts, star maps designed for Michigans northern latitude, and helpful information on planets, the moon, eclipses, meteor showers, comets, auroras, and other celestial sights. Lynch also shares constellation mythology, telescope buying advice, and practical tips for backyard astronomy. A useful and engaging reference for anyone interested in astronomy, stargazing, and the beauty of the night sky.…
