Some of you wrote asking me to post info that I received. Here's a great
list of pop-up materials created by Laurie Whitehill.

Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] looking for illustration and graphics titles
Karen,
Here at RI School of Design we have a fairly large collection of pop-up
books. Some of them are trade edition children's books and some of our
artists' books have pop-up elements in them. I have added a few books on
pop-up techniques to our circulating collection for students interested in
making pop-ups. These are some that I find useful.
Carter, David A. The Elements of Pop-Up: a pop-up book for aspiring
paper engineers. New York: Little Simon, 1999. ISBN 0689822243
This is an actual pop-up book that shows the under side mechanics of
some traditional pop-up devices but does not really give instructions on
how to make them. Still, it's fun to see the possibilities and most
students could figure them out.
Hiner, Mark. Paper Engineering for Pop-Up Books and Cards. Norfolk,
England: Tarquin Publications, 1985. ISBN 0906212499
This book has great instructions and diagrams of simple mechanisms,
showing how the movement works. Patterns are included.
Birmingham, Duncan. Pop-Up!: A Manual of Paper Mechanisms. Diss,
Norfolk: Tarquin, 1997. ISBN 1899618090 (pbk)
Jackson, Paul. The Pop-Up Book: Step-By-Step Instructions for Creating
over 100 Original Paper Projects. New York: Henry Holt and Co., 1993.
ISBN 0805028846 (pbk)
This book is almost always checked out. It has good instructions for a
variety of projects, although some of them are a little bit "crafty" and
cute.
Chatani, Masahiro. Pop-Up Greeting Cards: A Creative Personal Touch
for Every Occasion: Origamic Architecture. Tokyo: Ondorisha Publishers;
New York: Distributed in the U.S. by Kodansha International/ USA through
Harper and Row, 1986. ISBN 0870407333
This is just one of many Chatani books on origamic architecture. His
structures are rather challenging but the models and patterns can be
followed pretty
easily.
Uribe, Diego. Fractal Cuts: Exploring the Magic of Fractals with
Pop-Up Designs. Diss, England: Tarquin, 1998. ISBN 090621288X
These pop-up mechanisms are similar to the Chatani type, but the
designs are more fanciful.
Montanaro, Ann R. Pop-Up and Movable Books: A Bibliography. Metuchen,
NJ: Scarecrow Press, 1993. ISBN 08108265X
This is a great bibliography on pop-ups. The introduction gives a good
history and overview of these kinds of books and then lists many pop-up
book specimens. We also have the updated edition (Pop-Up and Movable
Books: A Bibliography, Supplement 1, 1991-1997) also published by
Scarecrow in 2000.
As exhibits of pop-ups take place, catalogs are being produced as well.
I am starting to collect those. This actually was a celebratory pop-up
book for this wonderful exhibition.
Thomas, Pamela. Brooklyn Pops Up. New York, NY: Little Simon, 2000.
ISBN 0689840195
Jim Findlay has put together an exhibition catalog for a show of
pop-ups at the Broward County Library, Bienes Center for the Literary
Arts.
Pop-Up, Peek, Push, Pull, Scratch, Sniff, Slide, Spin, Lift, Look,
Listen, Raise, Lower, Unfold, Turn, Open, Close: an Exhibition of
Movable Books and Ephemera from the Collection of Geraldine Roberts
Lebowitz, May 31-September 15, 2001. ISBN 0967885833
I haven't seen this yet, but am planning to order it.

I would also recommend that you get on the mailing list for John Neal,
Bookseller. They have great catalogs of books about the book arts and
calligraphy. I have ordered many books through them for pop-ups and
bookbinding and book arts techniques.

Hope these help. If you want to see what we have for "toy and movable
books" in our collection, check our online catalog at

Dear Collective Wisdom,
I am trying to flush out my graphics and illustration collections, but I'm
having trouble finding appropriate titles for both history and technique of
stamp illustration, greeting card illustration, poster illustration, and pop
up art. I'd be grateful for any ideas you may have.
Thanks!
Karen
