What started out as a pamphlet to be done in 6 weeks turned into a book published 4 years later. Fred being dyslexic, made my job of illustrating &layout also one of editing, embracing & translating the technical information into laymen’s terms. Step by step instructions targeted toward high schools & hobbyists, it truly is hands-on, homemade holography. I’ve autographed copies for physics students at Berkeley’s Lawrence Livermore Lab,where presently in use as basic classroom text.
A dichromate hologram, the first ever to be included in a bound book publication, was glued into the last page of the book. A source of unending agony for our publisher, but real neato. The same type of hologram that has since proliferated on credit cards.
1987 · Popa Verlag, A book publisher in Munich starts work on a German edition: “Handbuch der Holographie Wie mache ich Hologramme selber?” There has also been talk of a Japanese translation….I’m still waiting.
The Authors
Fred Unterseher
Fred is the “Holographer Extraordinaire” He has been working/lecturing/creating within the Holographic community extensively since I have known him. He’s worked under the auspices of The Holography Museum in N.Y. & did much of the ground breaking work in holographic lensing (a miniaturization process) while doing research in Germany. He uses the Holography Handbook extensively during his lecture tours to make his point clearer to his audiences ……..& also rings up a couple of sales along the way.
Jeannene Hansen
This thrills my parents to no end & validates all that tuition money spent on my education. They’d also like you to know that the book retails for $32.50.
Bob Schlesinger
When last heard from Bob was programming computers & in general staying on the cutting edge.
