Dear friends I made the article Fundamental astronomy book when i saw the article about the book A Question and Answer Guide to Astronomy. fundamental astronomy is a very more important and fundamental than that. it is a textbook in a lot of universities and science colleges. besides, students who want to take part in International Astronomy Olympiad use this book as the main reference. i tried to use the cover page, but it was deleted by wiki. this book covers almost all the aspects of astronomy and has a look at cosmology.

Over 162 Wikipedia articles cite/mention the book. It is widely used in syllabus at top schools like Harvard and many other schools. It is listed here (Harvard) in a "core list of Astronomy books" to assist librarians in building astrophysics collections. Per WP:NBOOK #1, it has been widely reviewed in reliable sources (academic journals etc). There are about 20 to 25 professional reviews at least.
