| An open book is two gnomonless dials back to back. The gnomon is actually the edge of the dial plate, and the case study on this easy to make dial covers the theory as well as how to mark such a dial plate that is not of a constant radiua. Designed for latitude, and the dial plates corrected for longitude, this dial is a simple and welcome addition to the garden. |

decliners, armillary, equatorial, etc. (concrete, glass, copper) - outside or long lasting.
Page 2 ~ fine detail yet less weather proof. (PVC, wood, etc)
Page 3 ~ artistic photos of the dials in book 2. Some are rather interesting or amusing. Some bad weather (snow) pictures.
and some of the author's stained glass non sundial work.
and some 3d JPG pics also here, and also here, of sundials, both real, and 3d CAD, just for fun.
and some antique or collectible dials in the author's collection
