Yves Arrouye asks: What is a good source of old Bowdicth editions in the US? On eBay at this time the oldest I see is 1917. The most convenient source is an Internet book search. My favorite is www.abebooks.com. A search using "Nathaniel Bowditch" produced over 200 hits. Pre WWI editions are obviously hard to find but a nice collection of WWI to WWII editions can still be assembled for a modest investment without ever leaving home! Makes me appreciate my modest little collection of Bowditch all the more.
