Item Description

This item entitles the high bidder to a copy of The Cloudspotter's Handbook 
and a Society calendar.

The Cloud Appreciation Society has more than 31,000 members 
in 94 countries around the world. 

They have joined for nothing more than a love of the sky and a conviction 
that clouds are not something to complain about but one of nature’s
most beautiful and poetic displays.

Gavin Pretor-Pinney, founder of The Cloud Appreciation Society, 
is the author of two bestselling cloud books and winner of the 2011 
Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books.
