Rate the book itself not the particular condition of the one you recieved!
This is an excellent textbook! I bought this book for an intro astronomy class and loved it.. In fact I reread the textbook more indepthly after the course and have recommended this book to others.. these ratings are for the quality of the material not the condition of the particular book that the buyer purchased.. that will be conditional and ever changing... and thusly irrelevant.. Anyhow... ...

The cosmic frontiers of general relativity

An Introduction to General Relativity and Black Holes
This book is very well written for a general reader but requires basic knowledge of physics. There are 18 chapters, and the first four deals with General Relativity and the remaining chapters discuss physics and cosmology of black holes. Since the book was published in 1977; some discussion about black holes is old and outdated, but the introduction to general relativity is pretty good. ...

Best Book I've Ever Read
I am a huge astronomy nerd and I must say that cannot learn well by reading. I have a hard time choosing books which explain things the way I can understand them. That doesnt mean I need things simplified for me, I can understand complicated things much better. Anyway, this book covers topics in the area of stellar birth and death, and black holes. It is an absolute MUST HAVE for a hard core ...

Fabulous In-Depth Intro to Astronomy
I'm an amateur astronomy nut, and have read several dozen books on astronomy, cosmology, etc. This is probably the most clear, in-depth, understandable treatment of astronomical issues that I have ever read. Be it stellar evolution, stellar death, theory of relativity, black holes, galactic evolution -- you name it -- this book presents the research clearly, and explains tough to explain issues ...

Commenting on Lonewolf Astronomer's review
I'm the author of Universe w/ Starry Night Enthusiast CD-ROM, and I thank Lonewolf Astronomer for pointing out Amazon's error in describing the book as a hardcover --- it is in fact a softcover. I've asked Amazon to change their description to reflect this, and they have done so. Lonewolf Astronomer included a link to Universe: The Solar System w/Starry Night Enthusiast CD-ROM, which is indeed ...
