The Planet Jupiter: The Observer's Handbook (1981)

At the time Bertrand Peek wrote this book back in 1958, quite a lot was known about Jupiter. Of course, since Voyagers 1 & 2 visited the giant planet, we know much more. Sir Patrick Moore updated Bertrand's book in the 1981 when the Voyagers began to revolutionize our knowledge of this King of planets.

This book provides a very good foundation for astronomers. General readers might be put off by the black and white photos. However, the essence of this book is that it is a fascinating view of the evolution of planetary observation over the last half of the 20th Century.

The hardcover book is in very good condition.

$25. Price includes shipping in Continental US and PayPal.
