Actually, there's something to be said for locating earlier editions
of Bowditch for ehanced tables. The two volume sets from the 60's and
70's have tables not seen in later "penny pinching" editions.
Obviously, some material is dated and I would not use these editions
as primary sources but they're worth look for.
