Seeing Double - Over 200 Mind-Bending Illusions

by J. Richard Block
Seeing Double - Over 200 Mind-Bending Illusions - Thryft
Seeing Double - Over 200 Mind-Bending Illusions - Thryft

Visual Deception Delights!

Seeing Double would be a great read for anyone interested in visual illusions and brain teasers. The book provides a wide variety of tricky images that can have your brain seeing two different things at once. Readers can expect to be entertained for hours, and maybe even learn a thing or two about how the brain processes visual information.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
