Rating: 4
Summary: Straightforward
Comment: This book is exactly what I expected it to be and exactly as advertised. Its short length makes it useful for quick reference. It is clearly written.
Rating: 5
Summary: Small book packed with information
Comment: I was concerned that such a small book (just over 100 pages) could contain enough information about celestial navigation to make my sextant useful. I shouldn't have been. The book is bypasses hype, lore and commentary and deals strickly with the topic at hand. It can be tough going but the book is written clearly enough so as not to be confusing on such the subject.
Rating: 5
Summary: I was plotting my position within days
Comment: I thought it was going to take years to learn celestial navigation. After reading Celestial Navigation for Yachtsmen I was plotting my position within miles of my known position in just a few days (I was using a plastic sextant Mark 15). The first 22 pages of reading requires a lot of thought and time to absorb the information but after one understands the main concepts the rest of the book becomes easier to follow. I highly recommend this book.
