Hello is this planet Earth?
If you're looking for an extra present for anyone that enjoys photography and/or scenery this Christmas, I can thoroughly recommend "Hello is this planet Earth" by Tim Peake. It is truly sensational photography and well worth the £9.99 - all of which goes to The Prince's Trust anyway.
I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and it arrived earlier today; I have been blown away by the pictures.

I was thinking of getting it myself until one Amazon reviewer said the text on page 165 was upside down and another reviewer said the photographs go across the full width of the book with the binding spoiling the photo.
Just saying.

Trouble is, it has had so much publicity, we are all going to end up with three copies each !

Take a look. I'm just the messenger, or ask Gill to confirm, she has a copy.
