Helo All- I have the Mayall and Waugh books and I think they both have very good information. The Waugh book was the first step in dialing for me,and has great information in a format I could understand. The Mayall book seems to jump to the next phase of dialing with alot more in depth information on formulas and the different types of dials, from portables to "The Great Dial At Jaipur India" As well as the Armillary at Phillips Acadamy in Andover, MA, USA ( A shameless plug for my home town.) All in all the Mayall book left me wanting to build every sundial they had in the book, and with the information supplied you could. Good Luck
Regards, Henry In the Pacific Northwest where a sundial only works from May to September.
