Pop-Up Design & Paper Mechanics: 18 Shapes to Make : Duncan Birmingham: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Four Stars - Somewhat smaller than expected Review: It looks good but may well prove very disappointing - Do not buy this book! This is an abridged edition of a book originally written by me. This edition was produced without consulting me in any way. It looks good but may well prove very disappointing. Only one of the nine shapes pictured on the cover is fully explained inside – four of them require specific and careful measuring; this book will not enable you to make them. The information inside is patchy, sometimes misleading and often omits crucial details necessary to understand what is a subtle and sometimes difficult art form. If you want to enjoy and understand the delightful and surprising field of pop-up design you will do much better if you get hold of the original book - Pop-up Design and Paper Mechanics – How to Make Folding Paper Sculptture. Or watch the videos on You Tube, The Pop-Up Channel.

Good photos and directions. I first watched the authors videos on YouTube before I purchased this book.

Duncan Birmingham is de King of Pop-Up. Hij legt alles zeer systematisch en logisch uit.

The front cover shows only 6 of the items shown inside. The orange, blue and yellow solid examples are not shown in the text. Needs complete examples of cards.
