Old Key West In 3-D, May 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Old Key West in 3-D (Paperback)
Joan and Wright Langley have amassed a fine collection of antique stereoviews of Key West, Florida. Each pair of photos, both taken from slightly different angles, will "pop" into one image and stand out in three dimensions before your eyes. The photographic reproductions of actual stereoviews in this book can be viewed "as is", or looked at through a handy little plastic viewer provided free with the book (easier to handle than an antique stereoscope, and a good way for children to learn about stereoviews). The quality of the reproductions is good (for a 15-year-old book), and the special binding makes the lightweight book easy to handle. If you want to preserve vacation memories, or if you're an avid collector of stereoviews, you'll find "Old Key West" a fun bargain. Highlights include abolitionist Frederick Douglass, hardy fishermen displaying enormous turtles (a local industry for decades), and sailboats harbored at sun-dappled fishing docks. The final view, of small children waving as a steam engine crosses a trestle over water, is worth the price of the entire book. When it "pops" into 3-D, you'll be gently transported back to a balmy afternoon in 1912, on a breezy beach in Key West.
