I have been researching and collecting pocket compasses since the 1990's.
My book, Compass Chronicles, includes over two hundred different compasses.

Compass Chronicles has over five hundred photographs and illustrations throughout.
(First edition, hard cover, coffee table format by Schiffer Books, 2010)
The book focuses on compasses from the late 1700's through the 1940's. The book covers
pocket watch style, escape, wrist, watch fob, military and civilian compasses and more.

Email me with any questions or if you would like to purchase a signed copy of my book for $39.99.
