Published by Navigation and Direction Dovision of the Admiralty, this book replaces the 1953 edition. It has 226 pages and a large number of illustrations in the text together with some photographic plates. It is now EXTREMELY RARE with none available from the usual sources. I find no copies for sale- not anywhere-not for years. In fact however far I go back. And no copies in libraries. No trace in Worldcat. No trace on any data base, not Bookfinder, not ViaLibri, not Addall. It succeeded B.R. 1853 dated 1953, and i find no trace of that anywhere It is hard bound and grades no better than GOOD although it is all there and solid. It is from a collection held by an RCN officer, and this is the second ultra-rare book I have found in the collection. If you know anything about it and why it is so rare, please educate me Sent registered or insured
