Received as part of a fantastic book parcel from Ardachy - thank you!!
I'd like to read this one but may have a copy of my own... if I do, then this will be going travelling fairly soon.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
I found my own copy and have started reading it :) Will post my review here when I've finished it.
Update: with short chapters this was an ideal book for reading with the morning cuppa. Very interesting and nicely written - what skulduggery went on, to try to deprive Harrison of what was rightfully his! And what enormous dedication - over decades - to the task. At times I did wish I had the illustrated version; however, you can find some images/videos here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harrison and here: https://www.rmg.co.uk/royal-observatory/attractions/john-harrisons-marine-timekeepers
Left at the BookCrossing Stones on a sunny spells and showers kind of day, and warmer than recent days.
Happy Travels, little book :)
