This is part of the library of the Caffe Nero in Andover. It is really lovely with excellent graphical summaries that would look lovely as posters. He tells the reader that to make an error in using the tables to make corrections for a sextant reading is "inexcusable". No modern writer would be so stern with his readers.
Primer of Navigation: With Problems in Practical Work and Complete Tables (7th edition) by George W. Mixter
Updated version of primer used since WWII. Some
of the electronic stuff may now be superseded (eg:
Loran), but still an interesting introduction.
*VASTLY* superior to the rubbishy so-called
'Boaters Bowditch'!
