It is the best published collection so far. Although the book is in a popular format, the over 160 full page illustrations are of high quality and in color, which makes it worthwhile collection for anyone studying vision and cognitive science. The Art of Optical Illusions by Al Seckel http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1842220543/psycheorpsycheorA It is available for $17.00 at amazon.com I am actively researching illusions, and have assembled the largest collection of such effects in the world. Many of you will be familiar with my web site (www.illusionworks.com) that is heavily cited. If you have discovered some new effects, I would be most interested in hearing about them, as I am preparing an authoritative treatise for MIT Press.
