If it is only one book without exception, then a copy of Bowditch (in my case 1849) is the appropriate choice. All the tables, all the rules, all the examples, everything, in one book. Even Lunars.
No extra tables, books, etc are required. Its self contained, stand alone and complete.
Of course, its the 'old form' navigation, not the 'modern form' intercept method, but hey, there is always a price to pay.

First the correct number of books for a single navigator is N + 1 were N is the current number of books; for a married navigator it is D - 1 were D = Divorce.I would recommend "We the Navigators" by David Lewis. I am fascinated by Polynesian navigation. This book is the definitive work on the topic.
