pop up books


Do you love pop up books?
Well, I do--how someone can come up with these amazing mechanical books is beyond me.
Several years ago Neiman Marcus created a pop up book for their 100th anniversary celebration and I was able to get one for about $7.00 and now the value has shot up. I love all my books very much--I couldn't bear to part with them no matter what the price.

looking at this book recently again--I would have to say this one is my favorite scene

pop up
it has so much detail and a little secret compartment

when you open the little door on the top left this appears--a small book with art images

Definitely a marriage of art and fashion.

Very lovely book! We have a bookstore in Dordrecht that only sells pop-up books.
