A good quality hardcover copy without a dustcover but with the addendum (1937). There's a little rubbing and bumping to the covers with some light page end spotting also. The spine is straight, the binding good and the text is clean. The fold-out plates are in good order. Please see photos.

The 13th edition of this bestselling book is proof of the success of Mary Blewitt's concise and clear style in explaining a particularly difficult skill, and it has been the bible for many generations of ocean navigators. Since this book was first published, the huge advances in electronic navigation have transported most offshore navigators to a world of press-button convenience. However, there is still a vital need for traditional skills when things go wrong: batteries can fail, aerials go overboard, and electronics have been known to get wet. A bestseller for over 65 years, Celestial Navigation for Yachtsmen is a model of simplicity and clarity.
