Let me preface this review by stating that I'm the author, and Amazon does not accept comments without star ratings. Otherwise, I would not include a rating at all.

This textbook received an excellent review in the journal Optometry and Vision Science, volume 78, page 185. It is true that my book, like many other books, contains errors. However, a complete errata file is available upon request (steinman at sco dot edu).

I e-mailed the author to get the errata, he never responded. Filled with LOTS of errors. No errata available. Get a better book elsewhere. Avoid this.

I saw this book by chance at a local bookstore while browsing for other books on vision. After flipping through pages, I immediately decided to buy it. It is a good introductory book, yet is very comprehensive. I have just added references to this to book to wikipedia articles on binocular vision, stereopsis and autostereogram.

Overall this is a good book, it has useful summaries at the end of every chapter which are a great way to get a quick review for boards. It does have some errors and the list of corrections the author has is helpful to clear those up.

This book is inaccurate and has typos. The author realizes this and is making a new updated addition for this book. There are better books on binocular vision. My recommendation is to buy another binocular vision book!
