Robert,
I appreciated your comments a while back on the
1966 Ed.. To the point that I went out and bought myself a copy! It's still in
the mail, so I am yet to confirm it as "favourite".
Also appreciated your notes on the history of the
astro compass.

From: Robert EnoOh ya, by the way, reason number 37 why the 1966 reprint of the 1962 Bowditch is my favourite: it has a nice illustration and description of the astrocompass on page 626.cheers,Robert
