Good basic, thorough explanations of concepts. Explanation of the Historical Development of our understanding of the universe. Lots of big glossy pictures, some black and white. Interesting for children/young people or adults. A good nerdy bit of retro to treasure. Great for those into space and vintage sci-fi or just want a bit of nostalgia.
It would be really interesting to compare this with today's understanding and see how far we have come.
