<Today I picked up a copy of PRACTICAL STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY by Dalzell
(1936) for $20 at a local camera store.  Did I get a good deal?  It is in
very good condition although it does not have a dust jacket.  Those of you
who are familiar with the book, what is your opinion of it?>

Ray Zone responds:

You got a VERY good deal on the book.  It is easily worth 2 to 3 
times that amount and is very difficult to find.  Dalzell's PRACTICAL 
STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY is a fine overview of 3-D with a lot of 
information on stereophotography itself, printing in stereo, special 
3-D effects, anaglyphs and stereoscopic movies.  It is a scarce and 
very valuable addition to any library of stereoscopy.  It was 
published by American Photographic Publishing who also previously 
published Arthur W. Judge's landmark work STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY 
(1926).

*************
"I foresee that the first 3-D motion picture to follow 'Bwana Devil' 
into theaters, will be jumping with what I call 'three-dementia.' 
Everything will be leaping madly off the screen.  This is a great 
temptation in making a three-dimensional picture, having objects, 
from bosoms to zombies, sticking out of the screen into space."
	--Arch Oboler, 1952
