My Eclipse Preparation Book. It Is The Most Unique Eclipse Preparation Book Available!
Written In An Easy To Read Style, Making Things Simple To Understand. 
Read My Book You Will Be "TOTALLY" Prepared For The Eclipse!

The unique format of this book takes Eclipse Day and divides it into 28 separate essential elements, from arriving at your observation site to leaving at the end of the eclipse. Each of those elements is its own chapter where the information about the astronomy, the science, the observation, photography, and videography techniques are discussed together. The Appendix is organized more like a traditional eclipse book with the following chapters: Basic Eclipse Astronomy, Simplifying Eclipse Photography, Wide Angle Eclipse Photography, Video Recording Ideas, Mistakes I've Made, The Next 10 Total Eclipses.
The book contains 240 photos, 225 illustrations, 175 dialogue boxes, 12 image galleries, 10 embedded videos, 18 audio files.

The digital versions of the book, Apple iPads, Google Tablets, and PDF downloads are $9.99.  (Note: The PDF version does not permit printing but does permit copy and paste, and screenshot capture as an image for printing)
