Stereoscopic photography was the television of 150 yaers ago. Imagine how exciting it was to be able to see people and places in 3 dimensions for the first time Voyageur Press's fabulous Stereoscopic books open up to display a lost world come to life. Each book includes a brief, colourful history of stereoscopic photography, which started in the 1850's and remained popular untill the Great depression of the 1930's. Each book has 45 stereo images complete with detailed historical captions. A built-in stereo viewer takes you right into the pictures, and they would make great Christmas presents for a loved one( or yourself!) --The American, December, 2009

It's news enough when one ornatley designed book of historical stereoviews is published, but to have five appear at once is almost hard to belive. That's exactly what happened with the publication of a series subtitles A Look Back in Time with volumes covering Washington 3D, New York City in 3D, Minnesota in 3D, Gettysburgh in 3D, and Native American Indians & the Wild West in 3D. All are by NSA member Greg Dinkins on the New York Stereoscopic society, and all include a built-in folding cover stereoscope with generous 1.5 inch lenses. the heavy cover stock used assures perfect horizontal alignment with no twisting. Historical information on each view appears on the back of each preceeding page, the paragraphs framed as if actually printed on the back of the original view. The 45 views selected for each book range from familiar to rare, but all are high quality images reproduced fulkl size in a consistent sepia tone, one to a page. In all but one book the image pairs are reprpduced on stimulated stereoview mounts, replacing the mounts of teh original view with a blank white 'card' featuring some imitaion wear along the tops and corners. these simulated lmounts include no logos, publisher names, or image numbers. The titles appear in simple, identical black type under the images - repeated under both images George Rose style, so they fuse with the pictures fro easy reading through the book's built-in stereoscope....a fascinating a deep look into history...any of the books in the series could certainly inspire greater interest in stereoscopic imagery, past or present, among buyers or those opening one as a thoughtful gift. --StereoWorld, December, 2009
