Stephen Hawking's A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME: A Reader's Companion

Stephen Hawking, Ed. with Gene Stone. Stephen Hawking's A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME: A Reader's Companion. Bantam, 1992.

I cannot say that I read all this book but I looked at the pictures and read the captions, and the chapter about his early life. I liked the story about how he liked getting his robatic voice but objected to its American accent. 

For anyone wanting an intro to astrophysics, this book would be useful.
