Hi...
Questions: Is the 2004 NA available for purchase at this time? If so, where may a landlocked soul in Montana purchase a copy? Also, where may I purchase the entire 6-volume set of Pub 229 and/or the 3-volume set of Pub 249? How often do these volumes go out of date? Thank you in advance for your response.

Hello,
The Commercial Edition of the 2004 Almanac is due out next week. Pub 229 and Pub 249 vols 2 & 3 never go out of date, Pub 249 vol 1 is published every five years. The Commercial Editions of these sight reduction tables are $20 per book, so a complete set of 229 and 249 would total $180. It is our recommendation however that you wait until you have covered the section on using the NAO tables (included in the Nautical Almanac) before purchasing these, the NAO tables have the dual advantage of no added weight and no added cost, since you need to have a Nautical Almanac anyway. If you should decide to purchase 229 and 249, we have them here though they are not in the online catalog yet.
Thanks for your questions. Robert
