As far as Navigation-L goes any subject on non-electronic navigation is
acceptable. Even a little GPS is OK.

Big problem is that the better historical navigation books are OUT-OF-PRINT.

Here are my some of my favorites:

The Haven Finding Art, E.G.R. Taylor, Abelard-Schuman Limited, New York,
1957. Library of Congress Card No. 57-5099.

A History of Nautical Astronomy, Charles H. Cotter, Hollis & Carter Ltd.
1968, London, ISBN 370-00460-4.

Any pre-1995, 2 vol. edition of Bowditch, Pub. NO. 9.

The Ancient Mariners, Lionel Casson, Macmillan Co., 1959, Library of Cogress
Card No. 58-12437

We The Navigators, David Lewis, The University of Hawaii, 1972,
ISBN 0-8248-0229-2.

The Last Navigator, Stephen D. Thomas, Henry Holt & Co., 1987,
ISBN 0-8050-0096-8.
