The 211 tables are no longer published as a separate book, but are included
as an appendix in several larger works, including Bowditch. Bowditch has
a basic explaination of how to use the tables. Of the books now in print,
George Mixter's _Primier of Navigation_ has a whole chapter on the tables
and a good (for beginners) workform that you can copy. Old editions of
Mixter from the 1930's or 1970's are common in used bookshops near the sea
and are equally good for this.

There are also compact derivatives of the 211 available, notably Bayless
and Pepperday's S-tables.
