About the Author
A former Army intelligence officer and Vietnam veteran, Bob Boyd is the author of numerous papers and articles on subjects ranging from local Pennsylvania history and genealogy to unconventional warfare. His interest in the Great War was aroused when he discovered a set of letters from his great-uncle, who was an aircraft mechanic in France (and will be the subject of a future book). Bob has an extensive collection of military stereographs and lives in Virginia.

A Great Collector's Resource,
This review is from: The Great War Through Keystone Stereographs (Paperback)
Unlike the first reviewer, I bought this book for what it is, a resource for understanding Keystone World War One stereoviews. If you're looking for a picture book of WWI, I agree, this ain't it. The late Tex Treadwell compiled a list of over 1000 WWI stereoviews issued by Keystone View Company. No boxed set ever exceeded 400 views. The author of this book has managed to figure out which ones went with which boxed set, the year that they got included & when various views got deleted. In many instances the origin (source) of the view has been figured out. Personally, I am impressed with the author's efforts and like the book. If you collect World War One stereoviews this book is a must.

Not a Collection of Stereo Views,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Great War Through Keystone Stereographs (Paperback)
This is a collector's guide to Keystone stereo views of World War I--namely lists and information on the views available. If you actively collect this genre, this is a great guide. But if you're looking for a book of photographs (stereo or mono) of the Great War--forget it, you'll be (like me) very disappointed.

This review is from: The Great War Through Keystone Stereographs (Paperback)
I do a lot of purchasing on Amazon, and always read reviews. I don't know how I missed the 2 previous reviews for this book. I was looking for 3D photos of the war, I didn't realize this book was aimed at collectors and providing information regarding the series of steroviews that were issued covering war.
It's my fault entirely, so I can't hold it against the book.
