We construct a totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space K₊ which has clopen subsets K₊” ⊆ K₊’ ⊆ K₊ such that K₊” is homeomorphic to K₊ and hence C(K₊”) is isometric as a Banach space to C(K₊) but C(K₊’) is not isomorphic to C(K₊). This gives two nonisomorphic Banach spaces (necessarily nonseparable) of the form C(K) which are isomorphic to complemented subspaces of each other (even in the above strong isometric sense), providing a solution to the Schroeder-Bernstein problem for Banach spaces of the form C(K). The subset K₊ is obtained as a particular compactification of the pairwise disjoint union of an appropriately chosen sequence ( K 1 , n K 2 , n ) n of Ks for which C(K)s have few operators. We have K ' = K K 1 , 0 and K ' ' = K ( K 1 , 0 K 2 , 0 ) .
