I recently received a copy of "The Quest for Longitude" edited by William J.H. Andrewes. It is published by the " Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, Harvard University, Cambridge MA." This book is available at most Barnes and Noble outlets. This comprehensive work includes the Lunar Distance Method as well as several earlier methods. It also includes a detailed account of John Harrisons work in developing the chronometer. Another interesting book is Dava Sobels "Longitude".
