Paper Engineering for Pop-Up Books and Cards

Illustrates in dynamic form ten basic mechanisms which are used in making pop-up books. Each of the ten basic mechanisms is illustrated by a working model which can be cut out and made. When finished it can be glued back into the book with a special tab to make a 3D dictionary.


Summary: off to a good start

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.


Summary: I learned so much!

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!

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.

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.
