I love his stuff. Years ago, I bought his Astronomical Companion, where each page zooms out from the prior page, to show the universe in relative dimension.

I bought one of his calendars, but never continued to buy the series. They always had interesting sidebars.

Maybe I'll buy the 2010 edition.
