Supplement The book has 480 pages including eight full colour sections of four pages each. The book follows the three volumes and gives additional information, unknown issues, new releases, excerpts from dealer magazines, and much more. Also it gives an overview of Reel Lists and Order Forms that have been available for the consumer market until February 1980. As Dalia Miller says: "Reel Lists today are collected for their dated information, a glimpse into the past, providing a time line for the issue of reels. They are also collected for their beauty and variety as accessories or peripheries of View-Master collecting." Available since October 15, 2015 (the day that 50 years ago William Gruber passed away)
