Five mysterious cards ...

When Eddy Hall receives five cards for his stereoscope, he and his sister, Eleanor, can't wait to see what exotic places they reveal-maybe Stonehenge, or a centuries-old European cathedral. But instead, when they look through the stereoscope, Eddy and Eleanor see some very strange things. An odd-looking rope hangs from the sky down into every picture. A marmalade-colored cat that looks suspiciously like Herm, the family cat, also appears. And one picture looks like the front hall of their very own house! The images seem to be almost real, not just three-dimensional illusions. All it will take is one little tug on that rope to find out for sure....

This is a lovely children's book for Ages 10 and up. Nicely written, it inspires fantasy. If you are a 3D-enthusiast and would like to wake your children's curiosity about stereoscopy, this is well worth a try.

When attorney Ed Becker spots the carved antique dresser in a dusty attic, he takes it to restore. Then his young daughter, Amy, makes a curious discovery: Inside one of the drawers she finds a set of old pictures and a stereoscope, an old-fashioned device that allows you to see images in three dimensions. Oddly, one of the photos resembles their house, where Eds grandmother lived long ago. But the scenes inside the stereoscope also bring to vivid life some terrifying memories, eerie images that seem all too real ...

Peepshow: 1950s Pin-Ups in 3-D
by Charles Melcher, Bunny Yeager (Introduction)

A 3-D celebration of 1950's pin-ups, Peepshow is a book like no other, evoking a glorious American past, a time when the country was brimming with confidence and innocence. Featuring 48 unforgettable 3-D pin-up photos in brilliant color, and designed to slip neatly into your back pocket, it is a titillating way to sneak an illicit peek. With sturdy stereoscopic glasses built into the front cover for easy viewing, Peepshow brings these unforgettable images to 3-D, volumetric life, creating the illusion that you are actually standing within reach of each model. Peepshow is kitschy, fun, nostalgic, and seductive all at once, a truly interactive experience that will keep you turning the pages for more.

Unfortunately, the "mounting" of the stereo images is not always perfect, and there are many violations of the stereo window. Some of the photos are even printed pseudoscopically, which means that the left and right images were exchanged. If you can view stereo images cross-eyed, this should be no problem - but it's a real pity that the publisher did not pay more attention. Otherwise, this book would have received a 5-star rating, as the images themselves are truly superb!
