It is not nearly as complete as <br /> <br />Sundials: Their Construction and Use <br /> <br />by R. Newton Mayall and Margaret W. Mayall. Their illustrations are not 'modern media' but definitely clear enough. It has lots more information for the buck than D. Savoie's Sundials. <br /> <br />Savoie's book is easy to read and covers many basic types of dials. The tables for French locations are not helpful and would better be replaced with formulas.

Sundials: Their Construction and Use

by R. Newton Mayall and Margaret W. Mayall. Their illustrations are not ‘modern media’ but definitely clear enough. It has lots more information for the buck than D. Savoie’s Sundials.

Savoie’s book is easy to read and covers many basic types of dials. The tables for French locations are not helpful and would better be replaced with formulas.
