The Elements of Pop-up: A Pop-up Book for Aspiring Paper Engineers 学做立体书

The Elements of Pop-up is not just a regular pop-up book but a guide for creating pop-up books. It recounts the history of pop-up books and the evolution of movable mechanics in books. It then goes on to provide detailed instructions and examples for creating different types of pop-up effects such as V-folds, pull-tabs, and rotating discs. The book takes the reader through the process of designing and making a pop-up from scratch, including the types of materials and tools required. The book also includes a section on how movable books are produced commercially. The instructions and samples are somewhat advanced but are complemented by step-by-step photographic essays, making this book suitable for children and adults alike.
