Dear John Borsellino,
the readers of the quarterly magazine
"DGC-Mitteilungen", issue Nr. 101 - March 2005, will get a review of this
really splendid Catalan sundial book.
There are two versions of the magazine, a
printed one for the members of "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Chronometrie" (DGC)
and a digital version, which will soon be available at the DGC-Homepage at
http://www.dg-chrono.de/
Best regards!
Reinhold Kriegler
