John Harrison and the Quest for Longitude Jonathan Betts

[Ralph B]

This is said to have been published in February, 2020, but I wondered if it was a re-hash of Bett's earlier work on Harrison.

Don't want to get it and find that I essentially have it already.
Thanks,

Ralph.

I tried to purchase a copy and found that it had been withdrawn from publication.

I tried the link above and they appeared to be everywhere.
Putting the ISBN number into abebooks also produced results.
I didn't proceed and attempt to buy one though as I'm still not sure it's "new".

You do not get the notice until they process your order. I tried a UK seller and they had their listing marked "not available."

I purchased copy from Amazon (France) a couple of days ago. The UK site lists availability from 31 August.

The book has been withdrawn by the Museum because of an infringement of copyright.

I am closing this thread to further comment as it is against NAWCC policy to involve the NAWCC and its members in on-going legal matters. Thank you for your understanding in this.
