1. Books on Stereoscopy 1853 to 1986
by Harold A. Layer
Stereoscopic literature is far more extensive than commonly realized. After
collecting books on stereo for about twenty years, I tried to compile a
chronological list of every English-language book on the history and technology
of stereocopy published up to 1986. This bibliography appeared in STEREO WORLD,
Vol 14(1): 44-5, March/April 1987, a very important publication in the field of
stereocopy that is still being published by the National Stereoscopic
Association. A link to NSA is given below.
I included all 3-D cinematography texts as well as major 3-D camera guides,
hardbound and paperback. A list in chronological order seemed more useful for
collectors and researchers and reveals years of greatest activity and
development.
Not included in this bibliography are magazine articles, 3-D picture books,
3-D drawing books, books on holography, stereo tour guides (such as the Keystone
Travel Series), and small pamphlets. These items, as well as an exhaustive
listing of foreign-language materials, are contained in a series of
bibliographies published in German by 3-D historian and stereographer, Walter
Selle. These important volumes are now out-of-print, and I hope that someday
they will be republished, either on paper or on the Web.
I would appreciate any corrections or additions up to the year 1986. I leave
it to others to expand beyond this date. Dan Shelley has a very good up-to-date
bibliography. A link to his Website is also below.
