Stereogram is indeed quite good.  Having just recently received for the
first time an issue of "Stereoscopy," the qarterly publication of the
International Stereoscopic Union, I must say how thoroughly impressed
I am.  If all the issues are as good as this one, receiving this fine
publication for the low cost of the annual dues of just $20 (less for
multi-year membership), is an incredible bargain!  I'm extremely mad
at myself for procrastinating so long in joining ISU!

I've made a copy of the signup form avaialable at:

One of the other best bargains in 3D publications is "The Technical Page"
available for a mere $15 directly from the author:
       Charles Piper
       26810 Fond du Lac Road
       Rancho Palos Verdes, CA  90275-2359
       phone 310-378-3294

All proceeds benefit the Stereo Club of Southern California.  Despite it's
name, most of the articles do not require a heavy technical knowledge to
read, understand, and learn from!

The same quality lenses are also used in Alan's Achromat Lorgnette II,
another excellent product. http://members.home.net/3-d/products/products1.htm
