4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive if a tad repetitious, Aug 25 2009

By R Atherton "patherto" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Stereoscopic Cinema & the Origins of 3-D Film, 1838-1952 (Hardcover)

Ray Zone must be the world's most expert writer on 3-D imaging. This book follows the twists and turns of three-dimensional projection (which began *before* 2-D "movie" projection!), examining patent applications and photographs, many taken by Zone himself. The only problem I had with this book is the fact that there are just so many ways to project 3-D, especially in the days before digital projection, and thus many of the instruments lovingly described in this book look pretty much alike. But just to see how, in 1834 (I believe), folks were chaining stereo views together and projecting them fairly successfully, is a tremendous surprise. This is only for hard-core 3-D enthusiasts, and you know who you are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful for studying film/stereoscopes/photographic history., Nov 22 2009

By Tara A. Pingle - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Stereoscopic Cinema & the Origins of 3-D Film, 1838-1952 (Hardcover)

I used this book for an essay on the history of stereoscopes. I thought it was very interesting and useful, with good examples. I am going to give the book to a film major I know who is studying a similar topic.
