Apart from the fact that the designs in the book don't go below 30 deg latitude, and I'm ant 18 deg, it's excellent. I've built most of them, modified as best as possible for my latitude. The "Make-it-yourself Astrolabe" seems to be published by the National Maritime Museum. The label says it cost UKP 2.50. I also got a carboard Nocturnal kit too while there.
