Hi, I greatly appreciate the response from this group. I now have a clear idea of what to look for, and some further ideas on where to look. I have also picked up a little more of the history of Bowditch and have begun to appreciate just what an important work it was in the 1800's. I think the idea of a 200th anniversary issue is a good one.

I am looking to buy an early edition of Bowditch ( 1938 is currently my earliest), and want one that covers lunars. In the recent thread on lunars, one member (cant recall who, without checking) said his 1909 edition covered lunars, and wondered/surmised whether that was the last edition to do so. Any other thoughts?? Lee Martin
