Yes it is, "Big Trucks and Diggers in 3-D" is available from Amazon
for only $11.96! They are also pre-selling his next 3D book "Galapagos
in 3-D" which will be ready in August. I can't wait to see both!!
Combined with the two new Dorling Kindersley book, this turns out to
be one of the best months for 3D book collectors in quite some time!!
=)

If you are interested, you can find the books here:

Big Trucks and Diggers in 3-D - The bucket of a backhoe swoops toward
you. A disk plow sweeps across fields. You can almost smell the hot
asphalt being laid down by the paver in this exciting 3-D book.
Stereoscopic photography has been around for more than 100 years, and
it hasn't lost it's capacity to amaze both children and adults. Look
through the stereoscopic glasses--built right into cover so they can't
get lost--and view these massive building machines in all their glory.

Galapagos in 3-D - The enchanted islands of the Galápagos come to life
in this breathtaking 3-D exploration of one of the most popular
ecological travel destinations in the world. Hammerhead sharks,
penguins, giant tortoises, dolphins, marine iguanas, and rays are
among the amazing variety of creatures presented in up-close stereo
photos, on land and underwater, along with stunning shots of the
islands' most beautiful landscapes. Sturdy 3-D lenses bound into the
front cover, informative captions, a map, and a helpful glossary of
terms make Galápagos in 3-D a fun and fascinating look at the islands
and wildlife studied by Darwin, taught in schools, and beloved by
natural science enthusiasts of all ages.

3-D Dinosaur - Dinosaurs are a huge subject, all right, as hundreds of
huge volumes will testify. But suppose you'd like a handy little
reference book on these extinct reptiles--maybe one that you could
stick in your backpack or even in your pocket? This small but sturdy
book from Dorling Kindersley fits the bill, with tons of information
on all things relating to dinosaurs and their world. An introduction
provides an overview of types of dinosaurs, discoveries, museum
displays, historic periods, and dinosaur anatomy. (The anatomy section
is fascinating, with comparative discussions of dinosaur heads, necks,
limbs, tails, and skin. There's even a cutaway model of the insides of
a dinosaur.) Information on specific types of dinosaurs follows,
illustrated with drawings, fossils, skeletons, and realistic models
that look like actual photos of real dinosaurs.

3-D Space - Aspiring astronauts learn what goes on inside a spacecraft
and see all of the parts pictured and clearly explained in a colorful,
detailed book featuring cross-sectional illustrations and offering a
unique answer to the question "How does it work?"

Enjoy folks!!! =)
