I'll add...

Got my first copies from Sheldon when they were announced in "Stereo
World", then he was autographing the blister packs. He probaly still 
is. It is a unique set with his, the photographer of three of the views,
autograph on it. It is also worth your while to find the article in "Stereo
World" about the packet and read it if you haven't. Not a whole lot of
differnece with Jamie and his "Mandate of Heaven" Reel story.


There is a second source where you can get the packet....

How short our memories are, can't recall when or whom 
to credit the posting to but, some time ago
in Photo 3d it was memetioned the California Museum of Photography 
(CMP) had the VM/IMAX Reels available at $7.95. I checked the site just
before writing this and it is still listed. They also have the elusive 
BLACK VM VIEWER available, it is $13.95 for one blister pack and 
one BLACK VIEWER plus P&H.

Get all the info and an order form from CMP's Website at:

http://cmp1.ucr.edu/museum_store/IMAX/default.html

Good excuse, if you need one, to get a black viewer and a neat
set of reels. Takes about 30 days for delivery. Lot of other neat 
goodies to see on their pages, so look around while you are out there 
visiting California.

Happy Viewing from snowy North Texas tonight.
