Review
“A marvel of paper engineering and imagination.” —The New York Times
“A wondrous pop-up masterpiece that translates the laws of physics, from light to time, into magical hands-on demonstrations.... This Book Is a Planetarium is immeasurably delightful, an achievement of elaborate engineering that feels somehow as spare and precise as a poem.” —Brain Pickings
