An ideal book for your purpose might be 'The Complete On-Board Celestial
Navigator' by G.C. Bennet, published by International Marine -


Described as 'An all-in-one navigation toolbox' it contains 'all the
essential tables, astronomical data, and explanations for predicting and
reducing observations made at sea', including

'a book on astronomical navigation
a nautical almanac good for 5 years
worldwide sight reduction tables
a star finder'

There is a new edition being released shortly. It has about everything
you need all together (including instructions and forms for sight
reduction, etc, that can be photo-copied) in a compact hardcover book
that lies open flat.

No I don't have shares but use it a lot.
