'[The] Clementine Atlas has quickly become one of the lunar references that I use the most. It's the most convenient and accurate resource for identifying named features. It's also a great research tool ... [The] Clementine Atlas reigns as the most comprehensive atlas of the entire Moon.' Charles A. Wood, Sky and Telescope
'A substantial book, intended as a complete reference work for both professionals and the serious amateur. The text throughout is both accessible and non-technical ... Technically, the authors have achieved their aim of placing the entire Moon between two covers.' Journal of the British Astronomical Association
'This is a very comprehensive Atlas of the Moon ... an essential reference work for those who study and/or observe our near neighbour.' Spaceflight
