I agree, although I believe that 'We, the Navigators' by Carl Lewis, 2nd
edition, 1994, is still available.

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.
