Man Is Not Lost
I don't recall AP 1234, but do remember using the three volumes of AP 3270 "sight reduction tables."
These three books gave one suitable celestial bodies to use for astro-navigation, according to one's latitude. The cover featured a small picture of a man using a cross-staff to measure the altitude of a star, with the motto "Man Is Not Lost" underneath.
When searching for such a book, I'd make Foyle's in London my first choice.
