POP-UP Books... Surprise!!!



The three-dimensional paper engineering of the movable books is commonly called pop-up, but is actually more acurate to call them covers pop-ups, transformations, tunnels, volvelles (rotating parts), tunnel or peepshow (see through), flaps, pull-tabs, pop-outs and pull-downs. Originally the early movable books were for adults, not children. It is believed that the first use of movable mechanics appeared in a manuscript for an astrological book in 1306. You may learn more about the history of pop-up books at http://www.library.unt.edu/rarebooks/exhibits/popup2/default.htm and http://www.movablebooksociety.org/ and watch the video bellow.
