Living history for an excellent price,

This review is from: Washington, D. C. in 3D: A Look Back in Time: With Built-in Stereoscope Viewer - Your Glasses to the Past! (Hardcover)
All of the books in this series are great. As a stereocard maker and enthusiast, I was excited about the release of these books.
Good points: Excellent price! Excellent construction with the fold out viewer in the cover and excellent graphics giving it an 'antique' feel. Some very rare views are presented that would cost a fortune to purchase. The descriptions originally printed on the card's verso are reproduced here on the preceding page to each image so that they can be viewed and read all at once... And, did I mention the excellent price? Weak points: Some cards which already suffered from poor image quality are made 'grainy' by the halftone printing. A few of the images are not in 3D. A few images have the left and right images reversed. While the original cards may have been this way, the least they could have done was correct them or note the error in the descriptions. Still, these few and minor weaknesses do not detract from the overall quality of the books. Nothing can really describe seeing historical moments and people in 3D.These books should be in classrooms. I look forward to the next 2 releases in the series.

Anyone interested in the history of our nation's capital will love this book. Not necessarily rare views of Washington DC, they do provide a panorama of the city in the early 20th century. Stereoview buffs will of course prefer the original views, but the book is a delight for both young and old.

Spectacular 3D,

This review is from: Washington, D. C. in 3D: A Look Back in Time: With Built-in Stereoscope Viewer - Your Glasses to the Past! (Hardcover)
I really love this book. The viewer is built into the front cover, so you hold that up while you turn the pages. You have to relax your eyes and then all of a sudden they kick in and you are seeing wonderful 3D images of the past. I went through the whole book right away but I know it is one that I will be getting out every so often to see the pictures again. I also have the other 5 of these books and have enjoyed all of them. I highly recommend this book if you want to see wonderful 3D images.
