Wow! I had ordered it as a gift but when I saw it, I immediately ordered two more -- one for myself and another as a gift for my daughter (she's a magazine publisher).I've been making pop-ups for 25 years and have copies of most pop-up how-to books that I know of, including some long out of print. I've taught pop-up book making and even made an "award-winning" pop-up (audience favorite). We've been in touch before back in the 1990s. You sent me some slides of your work. Your book is unique in that it is itself an artist's book. Colour, dimensions, texture, images, layout -- they're all perfect. It's all I can do to restrain myself from taking out the exacto knife on the copy I've got rather than waiting for my own copy to arrive in the mail.My immediate question is: when is volume two coming out? Will you be doing pull-tab mechanisms, too?Best regards, ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazingly well writen and organized *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2009* I purchased this book for my 10 year old son who has a penchant for making things out of folded paper and tape. Although his usual Saturday routine would be to turn on cartoons for a couple hours, instead he opened up this book which we had just received and proceeded to plow through the first 7 or 8 projects. Each lesson clearly explains one pop-up concept with an accompanying tear-out sheet to do it yourself. He worked steadily and was extremely proud of his progress and only asked for assistance when the projects began needing an Exacto blade. With very little help he was able to tackle those projects as well. Later he was able to reproduce the pop-ups on his own without referring to the directions.The book isn't just for kids and the art is retro-hip and pleasing to look at. I did a couple as well and then "popped out" a hand-made father's day card for my dad. I am planning to get the next book in the series. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only scratches the surface... *by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2012* This book is well designed & presented on the surface, however the overall content is fairly limited. The book covers only a few pop-up techniques and lacks further expansion into more complex paper mechanisms. I would recommend this book more appropriately to children (7 or 8 & up) or adults who are true beginners with absolutely no experience in areas of paper crafting & pop-up construction. For who are aspiring to dive into paper engineering more thoroughly & learn of more in-depth pop-up design & theory I'd recommend  Pop-Up Design and Paper Mechanics: How to Make Folding Paper Sculpture  by Duncan Birmingham or  Elements Of Pop Up: A Pop Up Book For Aspiring Paper Engineers  by James Diaz & David A.
