I checked it out (BTW, for some reason my browser didn't sync up correctly and I had to use http://www.nima.mil/Navigation/ to access the "book") and as best I can tell, the appendix section "Long-Term Alamanac", was dropped from this edition. I'll check my copy of the current Bowditch later today to be sure but I'm not surprised. The current edition was cut back to one volume from the two volumes published until recently. Damn bean counters!!! Anyway, this is all the more reason to look for older editions of Bowditch, eh?
