Hello:

Was thinking of purchasing a new copy of Bowditch, as the one i presently
have (1966 ed.)
is probably a collectors item by now.

I see that there is 2002 ED. a Govt issued one for about $ 75, and
apparently also
a commercial version by Celestaire publications at about half the price.

What's the difference(s) ?

same quality binding, etc. ?

BTW: are the math tables still a separate volume, or are they incorporated
now into the main one ?

My 1966 ED. has really nice plastic overlay star charts.
Does the new one (from either Gov't or Celestaire) have similar ?

Is there a "good" navigation interest web site or forum anyone might
recommend ? link to ?

Thanks,
Bob
