3D Reptile : Unique 3-D Color Photography That You Can Really See (Eyewitness)
by John A. Burton 

This tall, narrow hardcover book comes complete with a plastic-framed mirror. Open the book, rotate it 90 degrees, and place the mirror in a slot: suddenly you can see straight down the gaping, ravenous, downright alarmingly three-dimensional gullet of an alligator snapping turtle. Gulp. The text, which is likely to be ignored until young readers are tired of going squinty-eyed over the pictures, gives an excellent and well-illustrated introduction to the world of caimans, skinks, snakes, and salamanders--with much emphasis on their voracious guzzling of creatures unfortunate enough to be further down the food chain. There's also a clear explanation of the 3D-effect -- and, although the book doesn't mention it, nobody should miss the spooky thing that happens when you try to touch the fingertips of your right and left hands at the mirror.

No need for special eyeglasses! These amazing objects, invisible to the naked eye and photographed by a special process, can be seen "in the round"--like magic--with a mirror viewer supplied with each title. Full color.

Infinite Perspectives : Two Thousand Years of Three-Dimensional Mapmaking
by Brian M. Ambroziak, Jeffrey R. Ambroziak

Those who are expecting just another coffee-table book with a few magnificent photographs, are in for a most pleasant surprise.

From the first page, this work brilliantly illuminates mans' struggle to comprehend the subtleties of his world. Some of the most elegant illustrations depict the fantastically abstract manner that various cultures have used to navigate the sea and to map the ground. Of course, the real intrigue of this book derives from the extraordinary three-dimensional photographs that the authors produced and liberally provided--from San Francisco to the Grand Canyon and on to Mars.

For those who trudge through concrete and steel all too often, the Ambroziaks have provided welcome repose with a new lens on creation and all of its grandeur.

The Bubble (Region 1 Encoding)

This was originally released in 1966 at 112 mins in Spacevision 3-D, which made use of the polarized system and clear grey glasses. In 1976, a shorter version running 91 mins was released widely under the title "Fantastic Invasion of Planet Earth." Theoriginal polarized version had incredible 3-D, but this is a "downconverted" anaglyph version which uses the red and vlue type of glasses. The effect is not nearly as good, but it does work significantly better than Rhino's "Comin at Ya" DVD. The film is kind of slow and it has been compared to an overlong episode of "The Twilight Zone" which is an accurate description. It does manage to hold some interest for sci-fi fans, however.

Day of Reckoning : The Stereoscope (Blackstone Chronicles, Part 5)
by John Saul

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 ...
