It's a very beautiful way to read history and see it pop out like that, in original images. It's a beautiful book... I hope to get the other cities books as well. ( )

I love this kind of stuff! It's just so cool -- the way the pictures have layers upon layers of receding perspective. The way this book is constructed is pretty nifty. The stereo viewer folds up from the back of the front cover, so if position it perpendicular to the front cover, which you lay down flat, you can stick your nose through a hole and the lenses are perfectly positioned so that if you hold the back cover of the book up 90 degrees, you can see the entire stereograph, which takes up a whole page (what would be the recto, I guess), while the verso provides a description of the image. Gosh, I wish I could draw you a little picture so you could see what I mean, because I don't think I'm doing a very good job of explaining things. Maybe it would be better to just get a copy of the book and enjoy. ( )
