Thanks for your quick reply, Carlos. I checked out multiple books from the library a couple years ago.I'm still searching.
Sincerely,

Frank,
Thank you for the warm wishes and the same to you and your family.
As to books, there are a lot out there. This is my opinion as I'm no expert in CN. However, to be blunt- most books are not of much help and you'll be on the rocks long before you understand what they're talking about. It seems that the authors have intentionally made the work impossible to be comprehended unless you have a phD in mathematics. Keep in mind that most navigators of old were uneducated- but they sure did get their ships to port.
Those pleasantries aside, William F. Buckley jr. is excellent and was how I learned to make observations by the Sun and plot an LOP. The following is just a link to the DVD. There's a book that goes with it (but not sold in the link below). You can find the book on Ebay. It's excellent...it really is. You can also watch the video on Vimeo for a few dollars.

Best of luck,
Carlos
