About this Item

This is pristine copy from the first printing of the first edition which was inscribed to me by pop-up book genius David Carter while on an author tour. I somehow wound up with two copies inscribed "to Charlie" and I don't need two. The book has been stored in archival conditions since it was signed. Please see my attached photos of the book and inscription.

Here at last is the definitive book on how to make a pop-up. Every aspect of the creation of a pop-up, known as paper engineering, is clearly and thoroughly covered. All types of parallel folds, angle folds, wheels, and pull tabs are accurately detailed verbally and visually, flat and in dimension. Also included is a history of pop-ups and a step-by-step photographic essay on how a pop-up is made from start to finish. This guided tour is perfect for aspiring pop-up creators, paper engineers, students, and appreciators of this unique art form.
