Summary: Commenting on Lonewolf Astronomer's review
Comment: I'm the author of Universe w/ Starry Night Enthusiast CD-ROM, and I thank Lonewolf Astronomer for pointing out Amazon's error in describing the book as a hardcover --- it is in fact a softcover. I've asked Amazon to change their description to reflect this, and they have done so.
Lonewolf Astronomer included a link to Universe: The Solar System w/Starry Night Enthusiast CD-ROM, which is indeed cheaper than Universe. It is also quite a bit shorter, since it omits all of the chapters from Universe which concern stars, galaxies, and cosmology (Chapters 17-27).
Another abbreviated version of the book is Universe: Stars & Galaxies w/Starry Night Enthusiast CD-ROM, which includes all of the chapters from Universe on stars, galaxies, and cosmology but omits Chapters 9-15 on the solar system.
All three versions --- Universe, Universe: The Solar System, and Universe: Stars and Galaxies --- are available with the Starry Night Enthusiast CD-ROM.
Finally, in order to post this response, Amazon forced me to rate my own book. I hope the vast Amazon public will excuse the fact that I gave it five stars.

Summary: False Advertising
Comment: Amazon advertises this book as the hardcover edition. It is not! It is a softcover edition. The softcover edition is at:
Universe: The Solar System w/Starry Night Enthusiast CD
It is only $64.95 under this listing. If you order under this item number you will be paying $35.00 more for a softbound edition with the CD-ROM. Also be aware,W.H. Freeman Press does not and will not have a hardbound edition of this book!
