This revised edition of The Moon (1984) features many new photographs and color reproductions. Despite the photos' relatively colorless subjects, this change improves the look of the book overall. In addition to the clearer reproduction of photos, the new layout and the increased use of black background pages add to the design as well. Changes to the text are minor and often reflect the new choice of illustrations. Note that the Dewey classification places the book in 559.9 ("earth sciences in extraterrestrial worlds"), rather than on the astronomy shelves. An attractive replacement for the old edition.
