RETURN TO THE FAR SIDE OF PLANET MOORE! - MARTI...

The result of an exhaustive study of Sir Patrick Moore's observations of the Moon and planets
for more than 60 years  this book is a fantastic companion to the extremely popular  It Came
From Outer Space Wearing an RAF Blazer! written by the same author. Moore recorded his
telescopic observations in his logbooks  which are reproduced and described here in detail 
along with his sketches and notes. In this light  the author discusses the factors that caused
Moore to switch from lunar observing to planetary and variable star observing. He has also
included personal recollections and humorous anecdotes from Moore's friends and acquaintances 
as well as a look at his best loved books. Further chapters describe Moore's foreign travels
and correspondence with those back home. Lastly  the author has not neglected a few of Moore's
most memorable television and radio appearances  which are examined along with a close up of
what it was like to visit Moore's beloved home of Farthings in Selsey. Essentially  this is a
book written by popular demand from the readers of the author's original biography  who craved
more of Moore!
