SUMMARY- This is the last book of hers, and it came out exactly 10 years after the previous one. It's now been twenty years after that, so I'm guessing we won't be getting any more books from Ms. Mathieson. That makes me sad. All three of her books are brilliant - and enticing to use. I can testify to this, as I have more than one copy missing its pull-out sheet. Because they are long out of print, you'll only be able to get them on the used market. Make sure and ask if its pull-out sheet is intact before you buy it! You will not only learn how sophisticated a compass point can be, she will teach you how to draft your own!
