Summary: Pseudoscopic Images (Pseudostereo)
Review: Having been in stereo photography for nearly 50 years, I must point out that six of the images in this book were presented pseudoscopically, i.e., the left and right photos were reversed in printing. These prints were opposite pages numbered 6, 16, 20, 74, 76, and 84. When this left-to-right error occurs, the near objects appear to be distant and the distant objects seem close up, a very confusing situation for our eyes and brains to interpret. A technique known as cross-eyed viewing makes it possible to see these as they should be, but this requires a fair amount of practice.The pairs should have been proof read (examined) more carefully by the author before the material went to the printer. If you, the readers, think they look strange you are right. Stereo nut that I am, I still gave this book a rating of four, but it should perhaps have been downgraded to a three because of these glaring 3-D errors.

Summary: A Lot of Fun!
Review: I wasn't quite sure what I was getting with this, but it turned out to be a fun book. The pictures are a bit campy, but often have either great 3D effects or very attractive models. One Bettie Page shot is included. Most all are nudes. Definitely worth getting if you are into pinups or stereographs. It's like having a dirty Viewmaster Reel :-)

Summary: This book is 3-Delicious
Review: This volume creatively includes a 3-D viewer for truly experiencing these stereo-graphic images from the 50s.
More art and history rather than erotica... or at least that's what you can tell your significant other.
The pictures are great, I particularly enjoy that the women come from a more realisitic, less enhanced era.

Summary: Torn but Impressed......
Review: Well, I'm a pretty politically charged chick, and 100% sick and tired of women being objectified day in and day out, everywhere I look, etc. But I can also appreciate the female form, and was curious as to what this book entailed..... I'm "torn" because yes, it's a bunch of nudie picks for the entertainment of men. BUT I was blown away at the REALNESS of these women. Barely any of the women were skinny, and most would be considered downright fat by today's standards, and yet all were naked, posing. Yeah, in some respects, that STILL means they have low self-esteem, but NOT the same caliber that a thick chick in today's world would have. I mean, these women had no idea their dimpled bods would be considered "flawed" by an entire society, and it's refreshing to see. I picked up a copy for a friend for Xmas. I thought it sort of a totem to self-love for REAL girls. Plus, chicks rule! Overall, a cute idea, if it "has" to be done (which is why I only gave it 4 stars: it's STILL exploitative!)
