Go to ebay and get a copy of Bowditch The American Pratical Navigator.

Why on earth go to Ebay, it's available online?


He's a student and needs to learn to save money when possiable.
I purchace many things off ebay and have been quite happy.

You can pick up Bowditch vol 1 & 2 around 65.00 dollars on ebay.

And at most stores I think you will find them around 125 for the set.

If you take your time and shop wisely you could pick up a nice
vintage leather bound ships set.

A sailor should have a bowditch for life and pass it on to his aires.
Mine has been in my family for 3 generations. It is one of my most
treasured items.
