P3D Pictures in stereo books

The Peter Gowland approach:  Has anyone actually seen the pictures 
that came with this book???  These are film strips that are supposed to be 
cut and placed in stereo mounts (this is my understanding, I might be
wrong).  No doubt that mostly original owners of this book (any in
photo-3d?) have seen the pictures.  I personally would like to have seen 
some stereo pairs in Gowland's book that I own (especially of the models!!!)

I have no problem with the photographs in the Realist Manual book in the
context that they are presented.  Besides, freeviewing them don't look
that bad.  The approach that if you want to include stereo pictures in 
a book they must be of top-notch quality, seems a bit stretched.  Most
anaglyph books should them be banned?
