Dick and all,

It may not be in the sundial registry (no one has filled out the submission form!), but NASS did report the dial. The 9-foot stainless steel equatorial sundial was built and dedicated on June 9th, 2012 in memory of Kathleen Fischer, a sixth-grade science teacher who inspired many students to pursue science.

A friend sent me a link to some information about a
large equitorial dial at the McCarthy Observatory in
New Milford, Connecticut.  It does not seem to be in
the registry.

Hello Darek,
   The two books are certainly the same book, with different covers.  The have 
the exact same dimensions and number of pages, and more importantly, they have 
the same ISBN, which is unique to every book.
   You'll note that the shipping cost to Poland on the second book is lower 
than on the first.
Thanks,

Dear Friends

I need your advise.

I found on eBay two listings offering 2 books with the very same title but 
having different covers. Here they are:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sundials-An-Illustrated-History-of-Portable-Dials-Hester-Higton-9780856675232-/390653600984
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sundials-Hester-Higton-9780856675232-Book-/400552337200

Are these 2 different books or it's the same thing with 2 alternative covers?

I would be very grateful for any help.
