Published by: Sawyer's Inc., Portland, OR, 1949 Book Condition: VG Jacket Condition: No Jacket Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Binding: Hard Cover Notes: This is a book of historical importance because of the extensive content and the photographer's fame. William B. Gruber was a renowned photographer and inventor of the View-Master. Volume 1 of this set consists of 626 pages of text, primarily dealing with the problems of mushroom identification and keys for groups illustrated. Red cloth boards are in very nice condition; internally clean with a slightly cocked spine. Volume 2 is a box disguised as a book, lined with purple velvet, two cubbies, and snaps closed. Nestled in one cubby are the elusive 33 reels of color stereo-photographs and the other the coveted View-Master. The reels are enclosed within a smaller book and have been well cared for. One light lens has a worn out tab, else wise this vintage Sawyer's View-Master is in nice condition. Female end of snap is missing on box. A must in any mycological library and a rare find with reels. Digital photos available. Keywords:
