Reed's Nautical Almanacs in the U.S. last published celestial navigation
tables in 2004. Declining demand among readers in the last few years
made it increasingly difficult to justify the costs of including the
tables in our publications -- both in terms of the printing costs and
the cost of purchasing data from HM Almanac Office.
Adlard Coles in the UK continues to publish Reed's Astro-Navigation
Tables, which use the same layout and format as the tables previously
published by the U.S. Reed's.
