http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/gallery/0000bs2w.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/gallery/0000bs2w By Robert Sabuda, 2003. Absolutely majestic. http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001wqkk.xml The cover. Look how thick it is. "This must be a pop-up book," I said, looking at the side. Little did I know... http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001wqkk.xml 60344f77ab2af7aed3ef443199db1c23 image/jpeg 800 600 102774 http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001wqkk And then I opened it. You know, I've had pop-up books where a spread like this is the <i>end</i> of the thing, the best part of the book. This? This book is <i>fractal</i>. See that text on the side? It <i>opens</i>. There's a few pages in it, with a very cut-down version of the story. Each of those mini-pages has some kind of pop-up on it. On the right is this telescoping thing that you look into and see Alice falling down the rabbit hole. http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001xa11.xml a9a3d6ac1ba94bdb9c574e7806e83ee0 image/jpeg 800 600 129235 http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001xa11 I just want to mention that the animals have a fuzzy texture on them. Really. This book is insane. http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001s9th.xml 559da5f56c4d8463a410c3eeba645e29 image/jpeg 800 600 116064 http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001s9th There is a <i>cellophane window</i> you can see Giant Alice through. http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001y79y.xml 355c14bfd58846d0aeb36572fa632d4b image/jpeg 800 600 165043 http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001y79y Skipping ahead. The Mad Tea Party. Each dish is a separate element. With metallic ink. This is wonderful. This must be really expensive. http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001z3ak.xml 004b9be19af25f3f505b6b929af79473 image/jpeg 800 600 113222 http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001z3ak *boggle* http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001tcy1.xml 5a9ada0e15e8e9246e2940adbe6865f4 image/jpeg 800 600 132649 http://pics.livejournal.com/shatterstripes/pic/0001tcy1
