Product Description
This book illustrates in dynamic form ten basic mechanisms which are used in making pop-up books. It offers many imaginative possibilities. Each of the ten basic mechanisms is illustrated by a working model which you can cut out and make. When finished, it glues back into the book on a special tab and folds away to make a kind of 3-dimensional dictionary or encyclopedia. For each working model there is also a page called 'technical considerations' which points out important features of the mechanism and suggests how it might be used to create original designs of your own.

 off to a good start, 2008-07-28
A person can become baffled by looking at a pop-up and trying to figure out how it was made. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to make creative greeting cards, booklets, etc. because it gives you all the basic techniques that you can eventually build upon.

I learned so much!, 2008-05-29
I needed something to help me put a pop-up book together, fast! It was a project assigned to me in one of my college courses, and I had no idea where to start. I put a lot of research into what books were available, and learned that this book in particular is generally revered above all others and considered the Bible of pop-up image technology. I learned why once it arrived at my house! The mechanisms are extremely easy-to-follow and produced excellent results. I got an A!

Pop-Ups, 2008-04-08
Recently I have become extremely interested in Pop-Ups, but being engineering challenged I have had to do a deal of research. I have obtained several books and found them mildly useful, but my best learning has been from studying actual pop-up books themselves. That is until this amazing book came along! It is without doubt the very best book for klutzes like me. It is clear and straightforward. Each technique is explained in a section and then the last page of the section can be cut out and you are able to construct the technique that has been explicated. You then glue the construction you have made into the book for future reference. I cannot recommend this well-designed book too highly.

paper engineering for pop up books, 2007-12-29
Great book! I bought this for my 12 year old granddaughter for Christmas. She called me that night and told me it was awesome and that she had already made one of the pop ups. She is very creative and said that she couldn't wait to make more things like pop up cards.

Paper Engineering: 3D Techniques for a 2D Material, 2007-10-09
Every popup technique is actually demonstrated with a small example! This book has saved me so much time and frustration - excellent reference for anyone who creates popup books!
