No apologies required. It's nice that you were able to find those books.
I agree they are good as you mention. I remember buying them along time
ago when they had first come out. Coincidently today (just in the Nick
of time!) I got Magic 3D by Tom Johnstone from the UK, courtesy of Marcus
(thanks). This book was discussed here on P3D also. All I can say about
this book, is that it is much better than I was expecting. I knew everybody
on P3D rated the book highly, and I wasn't dissappointed.
(I think 3D products if good, should feature the P3D seal of approval. ;-))
The book features stereo pairs and includes subjects and styles from varied
fields. The format of the book reminds me of 3DMuseum except the printing
of the halftone dots are slightly visible in Magic 3D. Still above average,
printing wise. The cover of the books looks cool and the 3D emblem is done
in holographic rainbow color. I would give it a very good plus rating.

Regards to everyone and Happy Holidays.
Gabriel going to try to catch Santa in the act.
(P.S. Ruben, hope Santa is good to you this year and brings you many DDD's)
(P.S.S. John B., Santa travels at the speed of light in any medium. ;;-))
