Ken Gebhart asked me to post this. He is downsizing some of his book storage and offering for sale a large collection of books on celestial navigation and related topics (list below and in attached pdf). Ken is selling the entire library as a lot for $180. That's about $3 per book! There are some great titles in here, and I'm sure it will go fast. Please email Ken if you're interested in buying this library of navigation books: gebhart{at}celestaire.com.
