A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets av Jay M. Menzel Donald H.;Pasachoff
I kept the rating at a 5. It was a 5 when I bought it. I discovered I have a newer editioin, but will keep this edition for the illustrations.

Found out today that I have an earlier edition of this book. Plan to keep earlier edition.
