  This is "Ocean passages for the world", third edition, 1973. (NP 136)
  Published by the Hydrographer of the Navy , Taunton, UK.
  I think that this was the last edition to include sailing-vessel
information.

  I had to pay �30 for my copy, a couple of years ago.

I second his nomination of this volume.  I have very much enjoyed this work.
It sells in the US for $110 now, but if you are to go on the seas the
information is invaluable.

There are a great many pull out maps of the world and its winds and
currents.
These maps often pull out to 4 or 5 pages worth of information, all done in
excellent colors and shading.  It is a book packed with information,
although
it is rather slender in size.  Highly recommended.
