    I agree with David. In fact I was waffling between Lecky and Bowditch but chose Bowditch because of the tables and because my interpretation of the scenario presented was rather apocalyptic so I was trying to balance entertainment/reading value with the need for some practical information. Bowditch won out.

    For all those out there who can only answer a question with “It all depends ……….”, here’s my submission.  It all depends if you want a easy to use navigation tutor/almanac, or a book you can open at any page; start reading; and be immediately entertained.  If the latter, it has to be “Wrinkles in Practical Navigation” by Squire Lecky, (as a second-hand book, not an online text) around a late nineteenth century edition, even if it is a bit self-opinionated in places.  D
