Colleen,
You have probably received these recommendations already, but in case
not........ The following two books have useful information for designing
a vertical dial:
1. Albert E. Waugh, Sundials: Their Theory and Construction
Dover Publications, 1973
2. Rene R. J. Rohr, Sundials: History, Theory, and Practice
Dover Publications, 1970
I find the first one to be the simpler, more straightforward of the two.
