I'm delighted you've picked up on the opening of Ships, Clocks & Stars at the Folger.
For information, these are the international tour dates for the exhibition (which is a smaller version of the exhibition shown in Greenwich last year):
Folger Shakespear Library, Washington - until 23 August 2015 (see also http://www.folger.edu/exhibitions/ships-clocks-stars-the-quest-longitude)
Mystic Seaport - 14 September 2015 through 28 March 2016
Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney - 5 May through 30 October 2016
Regarding the associated book, there are currently three versions:
a) UK trade edition (hardback): Richard Dunn and Rebekah Higgitt, Finding Longitude: How ships, clocks and stars helped solve the longitude problem (Collins, 2014) ISBN: 978-0007525867
b) Special paperback edition sold at Royal Museums Greenwich and via the Museum's website: Richard Dunn and Rebekah Higgitt, Ships, Clocks & Stars: The Quest for Longitude (Collins, 2014) ISBN: 978-0007940523
c) American trade edition (hardback):Richard Dunn and Rebekah Higgitt, Ships, Clocks & Stars: The Quest for Longitude (Harper Design, 2014) ISBN: 978-0062353566
Once you open the covers, all three are identical (including pagination).
