Linda Goodman's Sun Signs Hardcover – October 15, 1968

I own this book in hard copy and despite being the oldest, most decrepit book I have ever set eyes on, people still ask me to lend it to them, promising to take care of it. As has already been said, buy at least two copies; one for you and one to loan out.That's where the five star rating comes from. When I was given a Kindle Keyboard, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display for Christmas this was the first book I bought. Unfortunately, it appears that the original author's words have been badly edited to better "fit" these modern times. The allusions to well known celebrities that Linda Goodman herself made were sensible, but the new version has replaced these with icons that don't always fit what the author has said.As well as this, the "Boss" sections of each sign have been altered to use a female pronoun. Being a woman myself, I would have had no problem with this if it had been done neatly and correctly. But it WASN'T.From The Gemini Boss: "But the Gemini executive doesn't know HIMSELF which side of the bed SHE'S going to get out on each morning..."From The Cancer Boss: "...with HER father's picture on one side, and the group picture of HIS family on the other."These are only a couple I scooped out from a quick skim read just now. I mean, hooray for equality and all, but if you're going to edit a book, do it properly. Besides, this was written in the 1960s! That was how things were!There are other, unnecessary alterations, such as changing the original, firm "Don't try to be a career girl. He'll never stand for it. HE'S your career," to a more noncommittal "He'd prefer you not be a career girl. He'd prefer it if HE took all your time and attention."As a summary, the original book by Linda Goodman is a five star masterpiece complete with detailed description, interesting insights and plenty of humour. But I would appreciate this masterpiece on Kindle, not a butchered up version.

Fun book to read. I read it long ago and really enjoyed it. I wanted to see what she wrote about my grandchildren's signs.

A treasured volume of the late 60s, Ms. Goodman’s volume is both a novel read and a fierce astrological resource. She had the gift.

Easy transaction would buy from this seller again.

My grown son seems to enjoy astrology now, and I had told him about this book from the 70s. At Christmas I got online to see if I could find him a copy. He seems to enjoy it as much as we did when it was new.

Another favorite Linda Goodman book. While she does write about astrology, she writes about so much more in her books. The breadth of her knowledge on a number of topics is obvious in what she writes about in all her books. While she may have much go say on astrolological things, she also covers a number of other areas to do with science, one's belief set in their choice of a Higher Power, and what she says in her books is, to me, so uplifting from a simply human perspective. Reading her works, sometimes again and again, always uplifts me. She makes me appreciate the universe and what being human is really all about. I always feel more vibrant about life after reading (and rereading) the different sections of her books. I could only hope you would take away the positive take she has on what being human is a about the way I do. If I'm down, her writing lifts me up. If I want to read about things scientific, her writings offer that too. HIGHLY Recommended!

This is the authoritative book on the subject and decades old but still no one has ever written anything better IMHO. I have bought this book at least 10 times as my friends keep taking it. Her other book, Love Signs, is also a must own and read. I love that one for parties and get togethers. I have had to purchase Kindle versions of both because I no longer know who is "borrowing" my latest print copy. Buy it!!! It's decades old, has Peter Pan references and semi-"hippy" (that's a technical term lol) language galore, but it never gets old and is so ridiculously accurate it's scary.

I had this book for years and brought it for a friend. It’s so spot on
