The Spacewriter’s Store
I am proud to be an affiliate of one of the world’s best independent book stores: Tattered Cover Books.
Even if you don’t live in Denver, you can order astronomy-related books through this store and have them shipped to you anywhere in the world. I encourage you to patronize this fine independent book store. Each purchase you make supports this website and a store that is fierce in its defense of people to read what they wish.
For those of you looking for my former Amazon store, I have deleted it due to Amazon’s short-sighted actions in punishing its Colorado affiliates for a Colorado law that does NOT affect Amazon. Please consider using Tattered Cover — I have shopped with them for years and love the place. You will, too.
Here are some links to astronomy books I often recommend to people who want to know more about the sky. I’ll add more as time goes by.
