For those of you who read German (wow, the load on the Net seems a lot lighter now?):-
 
This is a book that will really tell you how to read a sextant and how to use the Almanac or your pc or calculator to fix your position. It even includes some Almanac pages so you can work the exercises.
It is very clearly written, and I vastly enjoyed it. For less than 20 DM (11 dollars US) you cannot go wrong.
 
Needless to say, the information is extremely useful in dialing problems as well.
Hey, it is really the same stuff, only done backwards!
