The title is 'Field Astronomy for Surveyors '. The Australian version of Yahoo quickly turned up a reference to it, but the links this led to http://www.biblioz.com/main.php?u=b37f66205ba70178cfa582de998c41ec http://www.find-out-of-print-books-online.info/ http://www.find-old-rare-antique-used-books.info/science-australia.htm have proved disappointing. There may, of course, be other avenues. This could prove to be a difficult book to find, as surveyors here are no longer taught astro navigation.
