BA, I have to admit to a wave of lust when I saw the picture in your giveaway contest. But it wasn't for the handsome stargazer.

I WANT THAT BOOK!

Thanks for the chance to win it!

I'm succumbing to peer pressure (and I had a fan boy shriek of glee when I saw it). Give me the book!

My nine year old self would have killed for this book.

I want one! If I have to order it I will, but it would be so much nicer to get one for free!

If I win, I promise to give this book to my roommate's 12 year old son, who is an astro-freak.

I'll give it to him as a Christmas present.

In 2008.

I hate to admit it, but half the reason I'm entering is just that it would be cool to win. But the other half is that the book sounds really geeky, cool, and like a fun thing to share with my 9-year-old son.
