I have all kinds of 3D stereogram books, and think that this one is, so far, the very best! Gene Levine and Gary Priester have done an excellent job at making these new stereograms extremely interesting and a joy to look at. These stereograms are very sophisticated and I was just enthralled with the great art forms that are depicted. One can tell that these guys have a deep love for what they do... and are not just throwing 3D images out in a standard way. This stuff is really amazing; I'm very glad that I had ordered this one! High quality three dimensional (true) art is what you see within!

The 3D stereograms in this book are so artfully drawn from the artists' imaginations that viewing them becomes an act of meditation. There is a kind of magic window effect that provides an utterly unique way of focusing the mind. I used to think that one stereogram was pretty much like the next until I saw the works of Levine and Priester. These two artists have taken this specialized art form to a whole new level, where beauty, reflection, and sheer entertainment coalesce into a pleasing aftereffect.

Levine & Priester already have a couple of books out there, but I far prefer their latest, Hidden Treasures 3D Stereograms. I highly recommend this book to anyone with the interest and the patience to learn how to view 3D stereograms. It's worth the effort, believe me!

This a a good book to buy if you are looking for a large quantity of artistic images. Surprisingly the cover image is probably the least interesting so no surprising disapointments inside. Most of the images have appearent short depth of less than a foot so the viewing excitement is limited. If I were to own only one stereogram book it would be the hardcover version of Magic Eye Beyond 3D with larger photos and deeper apparent depth but still happy to own this one for its unique image styles.

The images lack real depth and are far too small on the page. I find the Magic Eye books much better.

This one is fun to stay eye-crossed with for a while(kidding). It is well made with interesting pictures and creative images.
