==Biography==
The most notable of Parker's books is the ''Compleat Astrologer'', initially published in London in 1970, subsequently published in seventeen countries, and selling over a million copies.〔Kurtz, Paul, ''Skeptical Odysseys'', Prometheus Books (2001) (p.192 ). ISBN 978-1-57392-884-7. Link retrieved 1 August 2011.〕 This has remained in print for over 30 years. The ''Compleat Astrologer'' has become known as the archetypal 'coffee-table' book on astrology〔''The New York times book review'', Volume 2, Arno Press (1976)〕 and the first key reference source for many well-known professional astrologers.〔Phillipson, Garry, Interview with Deborah Houlding, The Mountain Astrologer Issue #125 Feb/March 2006. ''"Very little of what I'd learnt in the class seemed to have sunk in, so I bought a copy of the Parkers' Compleat Astrologer and compiled the whole interpretation based on snippets I found in that."'' () Link retrieved 3 August 2011〕 A revised and expanded edition, retitled ''The New Compleat Astrologer'', was published by Random House in 1990, and gained renown for being "graphically stunning" and for its comprehensive treatment of astrology at a layman's level.〔Lewis, Audrey, ''Madame Audrey's guide to mostly cheap but good reference books for small and rural libraries'' ALA (1998) (p.10 ) ISBN 978-0-8389-0733-7.
