Ideas wanted for a photographic Hubble book

[swag72]

I am wanting to get a book with fantastic Hubble pictures. That is the primary requirement, something to flick through and go WOW!! So, have looked on Amazon and there are a few books indeed - Any one have one sat on their coffee table that they would recommend has that real wow factor?

Would welcome your thoughts instead of just reading Amazon reviews.

Anybody any recommendations?

Sorry, can't recommend any Hubble books - but if you want a stunning coffee table astronomy book, i would recommmend David Malin's "The Invisible Universe"

The Invisible Universe: Amazon.co.uk: David Malin: Books

Hubble: Window on the Universe: Amazon.co.uk: Giles Sparrow: Books

I bought this one a few weeks ago and wholeheartedly recommend it. Its a very big book (36cm x 30cm, 220 pages), beautiful pictures, interesting commentary and very well laid out.

Pretty cheap as well!!

Excellent - Thanks all - Ordered a couple as I need to spend over £25 to get free delivery to Spain - Not hard though is it? I could spend 000's on books!!!
