Customer Reviews

5*****Pop-Up

This book is absolutely unbelievable. It was my first pop-up book and after purchasing this book I can't get enough pop-ups for my growing collection. If you're interested in fashion or just love to look at pretty books this is one for you. Pop-up books are no longer just for children. I am constantly amazed at the workmanship that goes into one of these books. I never buy a used pop-up book, especially ones that say some of the pop-ups don't work. Then why buy it! Take my advice, buy this book and you'll be hooked on pop-ups too. I even bought pop-up Christmas cards this year and a 2006 calendar. Robert Sabuda is my all-time favorite pop-up artist.

Entertaining Education!

What a delightful book! The design engineers, who created this masterpiece, must be incredibly clever! This book is not only historically educational, it is fun. (Remember to be gentle--this is not for small children)

A(Fun!) Pop-Up Book For Grownups

I have always loved pop-up books and this one is no exception. Each page has an interesting new surprize. The illustrations are bright and well-rendered. The only quibble I have is that the ladies are a bit tricky to set up. In other words,be gentle or you might rip them a tiny bit(yes,it happened to me.) This book would make a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys fashion and or novelty books..

Paper dresses to make us dream

Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave has made an amazing lifesize collection of period paper dresses which have been exhibited all over the world. Silks, brocades, taffetas and lace are recreated by painting on various types of paper. In this wonderfull popp-up book, some of the costumes come alive. Wonderful little details will enchant young girls, such as beautiful lace collars which unfold, a fan you can actually use, bags which open to reveal charming secrets and a model which steps out of the book onto the catwalk. A wonderful gift, full of inspiration and creativity.
