 Pop goes the page. Pop-up and movable books is a partly interactive exhibition at the UNT Library, covering history, publishers and artists. You can move things around and lots of animated gifs demonstrate the 'movable picture books'.Another exhibition can be found at the University of Virginia: Movable and Mechanical Books from the Brenda Forman Collection, with Quicktime 3D examples. Wonderful stuff. "Pop-ups, the generic name for mechanical, movable books, unfold and rise from the page to our surprise and delight. Through the use of rivets, flaps, tabs, folds, and cut paper, these books perform before our eyes. Each page becomes a stage, inviting action and participation. Here, physical transformations make dynamic the static illustrations. In the moment of touch, we, the operators, escape the mind and pop into the page."
