From reviews of previous editions: ' ... this has been the introduction to the night sky that I've recommended more than any other ... If you know of someone whose enthusiasm for the night sky has been inspired ... I can think of no better gift than a pair of binoculars and a copy of this excellent book.' Brian Kelly, The Observatory

' ... written in Patrick Moore's well-known, easy-to-read, personal style ... This book is a good general introduction to the night sky using binoculars and it should encourage the reader to go and look for themselves.' Alan Dowdell, Webb Society Reviews

'... a useful beginner's guide to the binocular.' Sky and Telescope

'Exploring the Night Sky with Binoculars is a good book for beginner and casual binocular observers, with enough deep-sky objects to keep them going for a long time ...'. Astronomy and Space

'This book shows Patrick on top form and will not only appeal to the novice. I found it to be a highly informative, well written book with plenty of useful maps and sketches. I would certainly recommend this book, and not just for the beginners it is aimed at. Even for veterans of the night sky like myself those book could be a worthy addition to the collection.' Dave Fletcher, Popular Astronomy

'This guide is therefore an ideal start to observe celestial objects using simple instruments as binoculars ... an indispensable preparation for further observations using larger instruments.' Orion (Société Astronomique de Suisse)
