I recently saw a set of stereo cards made from the images in this book.
They had been cut out and mounted, and were being sold for $2.00 a
piece. I just had to laugh out loud! I told the owner what they were,
and they assured me they were real cards made at least 30 years ago. The
funniest part was that some of the pseudo pairs were still that way. The
person who made the cards didn't even think to reverse/correct them! 

Amazing... Anyway, I would say that if anyone doesn't have this book
yet, they should get a copy, reversed images or not. It's a great set of
views. =)
