4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for the stereo enthusiast, February 26, 2005
This review is from: Wonders of the stereoscope (Hardcover)
This book is composed of two parts, one is a tradtitional hard bound book and the other is a book-like folder that contains the stereographs that are examined in the book along with a brown plastic viewer. The two halves are contained in a slipcase, all of which have similar covering to make a nice looking set.
The stereographs are typical litho-style cards reprinted from the original cards but are interesting just the same. The viewer is often broken at the hinge in used copies of this title but any viewer may be used for viewing.
The book discusses the history of the stereograph briefly and then goes into an exploration of subject types, each of which has a reprint litho-stereograph included. The depth of coverage is not overly great but the book does contain some nice images and is an interesting history of the subject.
I would suggest this title for the stereo enthusiast as an interesting read but not as a reference book.
