Matthew Shindell (Consultant Editor) Historical Editorial Review
**** "Lunar: A History of the Moon in Myths, Maps, and Matter" has received an overwhelmingly positive reception from customers who appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and informational content. This beautifully designed book stands out for its striking cover featuring black paper with silver printing, making it an attractive piece for those looking to enhance their coffee table décor. Readers have noted that it serves as a delightful compendium that combines mythological, scientific, and cultural depictions of the Moon, making it suitable for both dedicated lunar enthusiasts and casual fans alike. The book includes impressive geological maps and illustrations that not only educate but also entertain, with many visuals presented in vibrant colors. Customers have praised the printing quality, highlighting the crispness of the text and the substantial feel of the paper stock. This attention to detail resonates well with those who value the artistry of bookmaking. Despite some criticism directed at third-party service issues—unrelated to the book’s content itself—most readers express that the book’s quality and richness outweigh any minor inconveniences. One notable example mentioned was the missing impact site for Ranger 6, a detail which some readers hoped would be corrected in future editions. Nevertheless, the overall Consensus is that "Lunar" is a significant addition to any collection focused on the Moon's cultural and scientific significance. In summary, "Lunar" is cherished for its educational value and artistic presentation, making it a worthy investment for those captivated by lunar exploration and its myriad cultural narratives. **
