The Cloud Collector's Handbook

I didn't know I would laugh out loud while learning about the different type of clouds. This book is cleverly written with wit and easy to understand descriptions. This book is enjoyable to read for pleasure and also easy to use for reference. We are excited to start collecting clouds. :)

If your a fan of clouds this is a beautiful book with lots of color images, some dbl pg size, and descriptions to learn about different clouds types and varieties and collector journal page. It will guide you to spot clouds just fine and is very interesting! This author has another book that I got as well (Cloudspotter Guide) but it is in black/white. So if you only want 1, Ibwoukd choose Cloud Collecter book in color, it serves as a guide and plenty of info for the average person. However if you want to read more and get little more science info, I guess the cloudspotter bk has more info. I posted pics for that one in its own review too. --- Ended buying this Collectors book for my friend too (she already had b/w cloudspotter guide) and she absolutely loved it!

Great little book for riding in the car and watching the clouds roll by. Small print (you'll need your readers along), but very informative with good illustrations. Fun activity for everyone on a long car trip - especially out west where you'll be able to collect all sorts of clouds.

My son is odd... in a good way. Now in his teens (14), he still is fascinated by weather. Though his interests sway to the disastrous phenomenon like tornadoes and uncommon types of lightning, he also voiced the desire to be able to identify all the types of clouds. He regularly requests books for me to check out at our local public library (reading being his primary passion) but his request to get a book about clouds ended to be fruitless. All the books about clouds were for children. I thought surely there are adults who are interested in weather even if there wasn't a book dedicated solely about clouds. Amazon saved the day when a simple search introduced me to this book. I got the handbook and also the author's guide on cloudspotting, not sure if they were too similar but thought the handbook may spark some more non-gaming time (another favorite pastime) and a fun way to keep track of his hobby. This book definitely accomplishes that. I will say that you do not *need* both books but my son would not allow me to return the handbook vowing that it had more information about the different types of clouds. Since my purchase about 2 months ago, my son has learned a great deal about different types of clouds, how to identify them, what causes their formation, and what kind of weather the clouds may indicate. He has also been almost obsessively keeping track of the clouds he's seen. His cell phone's gallery is filled with pictures of the sky. He actually hasn't taken any other pictures with his phone that he received 3 months ago. Whenever we're out and about he quizzes the family on what the clouds are and gets excited when he sees something new. The best thing about being a parent is watching your children be truly happy in learning and growing and this guidebook has facilitated that.

This little handbook is a great extension from the Cloud Spotter's Guide. It is compact and robust enough to cart around with you, and has the same wit and concise information that made our Founder's guide so enjoyable. It suggests that as you accumulate clouds, you can take photos of them, and link the notes to the photos. This will allow us to compete aggressively with other cloud spotters in amassing beautiful and exotic clouds. I have only just started, but I think this is going to turn me into a cloud connoisseur. The photo examples in the book are very clear, and it has an image index at the back to help you work out what has taken your fancy. CAS Member No.: 15980

I love this book and have purchased 2 additional copies for people who love weather. It has nice pictures of every cloud type, fun facts, and it's written with a bit of humor in mind as well. I also enjoy the space available to write notes on the cloud and note the weather where you saw it as well as the file name for the picture you take of the cloud.

Unique. Gifty. Fun.

Es hermoso este libro de bolsillo, para quienes tenemos una gran fascinación por las nubes, este libro es una gran guía para coleccionar nubes y más libros de Pretor-Pinney.

The Cloud Collector's Handbook ist sehr empfehlenswert und ansprechend illustriert . Der Versand ging sehr schnell. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit diesem Produkt!

Great service and book was great . My daughter loved it

Perfect book for all cloud lovers

Great, really informative book with pictures which is lovely to read. This is a repurchase for the one I bought about 12yrs ago but got lost in moving house. Fab book and very accessible. Highly recommend.
