Declining demand among readers in the last few years made it increasingly difficult to justify the costs of including the tables in our publications -- both in terms of the printing costs and the cost of purchasing data from HM Almanac Office. Adlard Coles in the UK continues to publish Reed's Astro-Navigation Tables, which use the same layout and format as the tables previously published by the U.S. Reed's. -- Carl Herzog Editor, Reed's Nautical Almanacs Providence, RI 401-454-8300
