The Stereoscopic Society Library

This list shows the Society Library’s holding of books (& some cd-roms) in which stereoscopy is a major interest, including a few books of mainly historical interest. The Library also holds copies of the NSA publication Stereo World and of the ISU magazine Stereoscopy together with some earlier copies (1992 – 98) of German/Swiss publication 3-D Magazine (text in German).

Items from the Society Library may be borrowed for a period normally not exceeding one month (in exceptional cases this period may be extended by agreement with the Librarian if more than one copy is available and not on order from another Society member.) The borrower pays the first class postage in both directions, the cost of which relates to size (in most cases Large Letter or Packet Rate) as well as weight (generally shown after each title below - these weights, which exclude wrapping, are approximate and for guidance only), plus despatch and return recorded delivery fees where considered appropriate. The return postage will normally be the same as that for despatch, as identified on the outside of the packet. Books/cd-roms may alternatively be collected and returned at Society London meetings. Time can be saved by contacting the Librarian by e-mail or phone, when he can advise on the arrangements for despatch and return. Any likely delay in return of borrowed items should be notified to the Librarian a.s.a.p.

Please note: Loans are only available to members of the Stereoscopic Society.
