About
A passion for star-gazing often starts in a modest way, with a small telescope. For some, that modest beginning becomes a theme that resonates through a lifetime. Mr. Olcott’s Skies is the story of one such beginning, and of how a small telescope and an old book set the author on a long and often indirect road to the stars. It’s the tale of a journey that has only just begun, and of the discovery that you really do need to look back the way you’ve come, to understand where you are.
Praise for this book
More than just a book about his love for the stars, it will remind you of the reasons why you love astronomy in the first place. Beyond that, I won't say much more because I don't want to spoil the journey for anyone wanting to read it for themselves. It was a good book, one that I turned to throughout the day, and one that I would recommend to anyone who fell in love with the stars as a child and continues to seek them as an adult.
