Pop-Up Books . . . not just for kids anymore

Ramaker Library recently purchased 3 books that would put your childhood pop-up books to shame.  These books include truly amazing paper engineering.  Yes, paper engineering.  Once you see them you’ll understand why it’s called engineering.

Wikipedia mentions the recent pop-up book revival . . . Traditionally, pop-ups have been seen as little more than children’s books but beginning in the 1990s, they have grown in prominence, chiefly due to the innovations of Robert Sabuda, Matthew Reinhart, and other great paper engineers.

Here is where you can find them if you would like to take a look.
