Mixters Primer of Navigation,
By Doyle Allen (Wilmington,NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Primer of Navigation: With Problems in Practical Work and Complete Tables (Hardcover)
This book is primarily a textbook, highly technical and full of detailed information for the experienced skipper/navigator. If you lean toward deepwater cruising it's a must. If you collect classics it's a must.

Real life problems!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Primer of Navigation: With Problems in Practical Work and Complete Tables (Hardcover)
A lot of books talks about theory, some of them slighty touch what you will really need.Primer of navigation discusses on daily basis the problems of navigation and how to solve them. A book to start and a book to practice.
