Pop-up Design and Paper Mechanics 18 Shapes to Make

This totally new and accessible approach to pop-up theory and practice distills the numerous mechanisms into a logical set of 18 underlying shapes. Simple ways to build these shapes are explained with methodical, step-by-step diagrams and text. Make the mechanisms then glue their bases back-to-back to form a handy three-dimensional pop-up reference book. Includes techniques for building upon these shapes, so that you can make your own spectacular pop-ups.
