In order, I loved (of all things) the Childcraft Encylopedia "World and Space", volume 4 of their set. I wore that book out. A few years later I loved Carl Sagan's book (and series) "Cosmos", which I still have - it looks like it's been run over by a bus about a dozen times, it's had so much use. And Patrick Moore's books about Astronomy.
