A Working Wonder
If we had a category just for customers who lust after Jules Verne inventions and elegant gadgetry, this would be in it. The wonderful brass sundial, a reproduction of an antique, is approx 3" dia x 11/16" thick overall, and actually works! A latitudinal gauge lets you tilt the engraved dial to the correct angle for your location, and a bubble and three leveling feet allow the 1-1/2" dia lock-down compass to point in the precise direction. And if you never took it out into the sunshine, you'd still love it for the look and logic of it.

"Stars And Planets"
From the Princeton Field Guides series, this 400-page volume is written by Ian Ridpath and illustrated by Wil Tirion. Filled with charts and maps of the night sky, along with color photos and illustrations, it's highly detailed, dense and informative -- and printed on heavy, coated stock in a portable 4-1/2" x 7-1/2" paperback size. Third edition, from Princeton University Press. Spans beginners to advanced stargazers. Very nice.
