By James Diaz and David A. Carter (1999)
This title, to my best knowledge, is the best-selling of its kind.
James Diaz and David A. Carter teach you 44 techniques of paper engineering in 3 categories: folds, wheels and pull-tabs. Every technique is informatively illustrated and physically demonstrated in a flip-flap. You will see the kinetics of the technique and how it works.
"The Elements of pop-up" is simply a must-have for anyone who loves pop-up books or intends to learn paper engineering for designing pop-up cards or books.
As shown as the title of this book, it aims to unveil the combination of CUT and FOLD creates various pop-up techniques and effects. Templates of pop-up ideas are well illustrated to follow.
