Paper Engineering for Pop Up Books and Cards - Tarquin

This authoritative book by Mark Hiner, one of the world's leading paper engineers, illustrates in dynamic form ten basic mechanisms which are used in making pop up books. It offers many imaginative possibilities for hobbyists, or for students of design and technology. Each of the ten basic mechanisms is illustrated by a working model which you can cut out and make:

• Multiple layers
• Floating layers
• V-fold
• Magic box
• Moving arm
• Rotating disc
• Sliding motion
• Pull-up planes
• Pivoting motion
• Dissolving scenes

When finished, each working model glues back into the book on a special tab and folds away to make a kind of three dimensional dictionary or encyclopaedia. For each working model there is also a page called technical considerations, which points out important features of the mechanism and suggests how it might be used to create original designs of your own.
