Practical Pop-Ups and Paper Engineering: A step-by-step course in the art of creative card-making, more than 100 techniques and projects, in 1000 photographs

Great detail and pictures to help teach pop up DT

Not quite what I was looking for, but nevertheless very useful and interesting.

Please be aware that apart from the title and the different ISBN numbers, these two books are word for word identical. I can of course return this book but I will have to pay the postage. Not happy that the publisher’s can do this with no word of warning to the unsuspecting purchaser.

I bought this book as part of a "kit" I assembled for making greeting cards. Trying to encourage the 18 year old to start her own business. She hates to admit it, but she is highly intrigued by this book.

Illustrazioni chiare ed esaurienti

Absolutely love this book! In this particular edition (ISBN 978-0-754-83465-6) measurements are given both in cm and inches. A history of pop-ups occupies about 30 pages of the book and offers many historical examples including some early movables of the 13th-16th cent. A unique info! As for the projects, I enjoy many of them, to name a few: projects with circular slit folds, the rocking horse, the magic quill, the SPINNING merry-go-round! What a treat!!!

Really fun book for any pop-up enthusiast! I like that it shows the basic steps that more complicated pop-up art is based on and I didn't expect the history portion which was really cool.

I bought it to use in my classroom but there’s really only instructions for making the cuts and folds which are not very complicated. There are no instructions or templates to make the finished products which makes it difficult to justify the cost of the book. I paid $10 for an online pop up workshop that was waaay more useful than this book.
