I have just received a copy. It's very well produced with high quality images. It also shows the moon through typical telescope configuration, ie upside down or E/W reflected.
My only gripe is that all the images are illuminated as if the sun is rising to the west, which is fine when observing the waxing moon but may be confusing when the moon is on the wane. Unfortunately, due to clouds, I haven't had the chance to see if this is an issue in prectice.
