POP-UP BOOKS IN THE USA
Pop-up book collecting is taken much more seriously in the USA. It is the home of the "Movable Book Society". This is a non-profit organisation which provides a forum for anyone with an interest in pop-up and moveable books.
- Popupbooks.net is a my favourite web-site about Pop-up Books. Created by Carolyn Lilly it is currently not maintained or up-dated, and unfortunately the marketplace and, more importantly, the discussion board have been discontinued. It was a tremendous forum for collectors and enthusiasts. However this is still the most comprehensive site that I Know. Simply marvellous.
- The Pop-up Lady is the author of several books on how to make pop-up books and cards. Joan Irvine is based in Ontario (yes, I know that isn't in the USA - but it's close) and this web-site includes details of how to make your own pop-up cards.
- Spring Surprises. is the on-line catalogue of an exhibition at the University of Illinois. It includes some decent photos of pop-ups in action.
