Doug, The second volume is by Adolf Peitz; it consists of tables and diagrams giving details on how to lay out out a variety of dial types at different latitudes. From my perspective, the least interesting of the volumes.
The third volume is by Schumacher and Peitz together. It consists of 303 b/w photos of dials - each with a brief description of the dial. I've always enjoyed this one for the photos of some interesting, diifferent dials. At least the first and third volumes are currently available on the used book market.
