I recently bought a book from SMPTE titled: 3D CINEMA & TELEVISION TECHNOLOGY, THE FIRST 100 YEARS
To put it bluntly, this book has "everythiing you ever wanted to know about 3D, and more"
It's mostly a re-printing of almost every SME & SMPTE technical paper on 3D going back to the early 1900's.
It's also got a smattering of patent drawings and 3D related press releases & articles from trade publications such as VARIETY and BOX OFFICE.
List price is $89 (or the cost of a decent lunch here in San Francisco) but I've seen used copies occasionally show up on AMAZON for around $75.
It's a BIG book- well over 500pgs, and it's HEAVY, so shipping will set you back aboout another $15 or so here in the U.S.
But if you're interested in the topic and/or enjoy reading technical tomes, I can highly recommend it, despite the price which may seem high to some.

Actual Pictures (WoW!) It's a BIG book: 8 1/2 x 11" - 550 pgs - 7lbs! ![-](http://www.film-tech.com/uploads/uploads0503/3dBook_1.jpg)
Interesting 3D camera set-up using a pair of B&H 2709's (one mounted upside-down) AND color wheels to produce 3D and RGB sequential color separation frames on B&W film. ![-](http://www.film-tech.com/uploads/uploads0503/3dBook_2.jpg)
The "Polaroid Process" ![-](http://www.film-tech.com/uploads/uploads0503/3DBook_3.jpg)
The ultimate 3D rig ~ A pair of synchronized Technicolor 3-Strip cameras! (This thing must have weighed a ton & used up a sh_tload of film!_ ![-](http://www.film-tech.com/uploads/uploads0503/3dBook_4.jpg)
So, if you've got an extra 100bux or so laying around, I highly recommend this book.
(Or, you could just send the extra $100 to me!)
