This "Stereoscopic Atlas of the Chick" is a GREAT addition to 
everyone's "odd 3D" section :-) I also have one of these - and the viewer 
that comes with it is a remarkable piece, as it folds up into a nice 
stereoscope, with a cardboard back, a strong wire between the lenses 
and cardboard back (connecting the two).
