'The Cloudspotter's Guide' is the inaugural publication of The Cloud Appreciation Society. It aims to fight 'blue-sky thinking' and teach us to enjoy the contemplation of clouds, nature's poetry.

It introduces each of the different characters of the cloud family, so you will know when to expect fine weather and when to carry your umbrella. It tells of the man who fell through a cloud, clouds being used to predict earthquakes and of one in Australia that glider pilots surf like a wave. And if you've ever wondered who would win in a punch-up between the stormy cumulonimbus thundercloud and the drizzly Nimbostratus, read on.
