What I love about this book is that the descriptions of all the photographs are located at the back. This allows you to concentrate on the pictures and admire the beauty of them.
A great feature of this book are the qutoes. All of the non english speaking astronauts or cosmonauts have theirs printed in their own language, then translated into english. This ensures that wherever you live in the world you can read them.
If you own a copy, take time to read the foreword, prefaces and the introduction at the front. This will set you up nicely to look at the rest of its contents.
Don't be put off by the size of the book, just open it up and enjoy.
