The Written Word
| £14.99 plus £3.00 p+p |
Here's my new book Stargazing Secrets, by Collins, which arrived on the UK bookshop shelves in September 2007.
|
£12.99 plus £3.00 p+p |
My first book Simple Stargazing was published by Colins in October 2005. Read the BBC Sky at Night magazine review (JPG 718k)
In Blue Peter Book 30
(2000 - 2001) I have a two-page 'Stargazing' feature which gave you an
introduction to the night sky. It includes where to find some of the more
interesting objects of the heavens.
Blue Peter Book 31 (2001 - 2002) has
a two-page guide to my Blue Peter trip in 2000 to see the telescopes of
La Palma in the Canaries.
Blue Peter Book 32 (2002 - 2003) has nothing to do with space at all, but you can see what I got up to in the Blue Peter rock and roll Christmas panto back in 2001, as well as an intriguing feature on Men in Skirts!
Blue Peter Book 33 (2003 - 2004) has me in my outfit for the 2002 Christamas show: Christmas at the Club.
