Dazzio Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I actually bought mine yesterday (15th Jan) from WH Smith, altho it was £8. I know Waterstones do stock it, but it's listed as "Re-printing" and the staff just look at you when you as for it, so I just said "Star charts". Saw this one in WH Smiths yesterday, but it looked about 6 inches in diameter, Philips Mini Stargazer 3-in-1 binocular astronomy set (guide book, map & planisphere) Hope it helps you any?
