To commemorate its 10th Anniversary, the Movable Book Society created this amazing book on the history of pop-ups and movable books, beginning with Matthew Paris, a Benedictine monk who created the first known paper movable, the volvelle, and on to the twentieth-century. The text and illustrations

were done by contemporary pop-up gods like Robert Sabuda, and depict a variety of movables, including turn-up books, dissolving views and, of course, pop-ups.

The book is bound in purple cloth, and is housed in a similarly-covered drop-spine box with a ribbon lift. Very classy.
