The Compendium
Annual membership in the North American Sundial Society includes four issues of The Compendium, available in print, CD-R discs, or digital down-downloadeditions. From time to time the CD-R and digital editions not only come with all the articles and features of the print edition, but from time to time offer software features and other bonus material not available in print. Note that almost all of the software is made for PC-Windows devices.
The Digital and CD-R Editions of The Compendium provide articles in PDF format that can be read using Adobe Reader or other PDF applications such as PDF Complete. NASS membership and subscription can be made for one or two years, now using worldwide rates.
- The easiest way to enjoy The Compendium is to select the Digital Download edition. Notification of its availablility will be sent via email.
- The Print Edition of The Compendium will be sent as a 6” x 9” paperback book averaging 78-80 (acid-free paper) pages each quarter. The text and corresponding drawings are made for easy reading. The page size allows The Compendium to appear similar whether in Print, CD, or Digitial edition, with full pages viewing on most computer screens without scrolling. Note: The Print Ediition requires your (mobile) telephone number in case of delivery issues.
- The Digital edition is also available on a CD-R disk if "CD" is selected below. This is mailed to your address. Again note that the digital bonus items are generally made for PC-Windows devices.
Membership Rates
Our members outside of North America have paid an additional charge for shipping the print edition. With our new format and printer, The Compendium will actually be printed at different locations around the world, with a general reduction in cost of shipping. As of the biginning of 2021 NASS has moved to a single worldwide membership fee structure. Whether you subscribe to the Print, CD or Download edition, the US Dollar cost of membership will not depend on where you live. And that cost will be the same as North American members currently pay.
Join or Renew you Membership to the North American Sundial Society. We offer 1 or 2 year membership with a variety of ways to receive our Quarterly Journal, The Compendium.
