An Intriguing Selection

Pop-up and moveable books come in all shapes and sizes. They may have very simple mechanisms or very complicated mechanisms (paper engineering as we call it today). To me, the work of Julian Wehr and V. Kubasta are as interesting and fascinating as many of the "paper engineers" working today, but there are also legions of fans for the modern intricate creations as well. There is no denying that people such as Keith Moseley, James Diaz, David Pelham and John Strejan have created some outstanding pop-up configurations. Whatever your preference, I will try to maintain an interesting selection of old and new pop-ups and moveables on this portion of my website. Come often and enjoy, and even take one home now and again.

Snow White's life with the seven dwarfs, the intrusion of the evil Queen and the arrival of the handsome Prince to resuscitate Snow White. 4 of the pop-ups have moving parts. Glossy pictorial boards. Some wrinkling and warping of the boards; couple of minor tears and wrinkles in two of the action parts; a little damage to the cellophane over Snow White's casket (you can't see it very well in photo but the bottom left corner is turned back); still a G+ clean copy of another delightful Kubasta creation. $35.00 6) "All at Sea: an All-Action Pop-Up Picture Storybook" with illustrations and design by V.

Minor edgewear; corners bumped; a crease in the wolf's tongue on the front cover; a crease in the vase of flowers that pops up on the table in the last pop-up; one major flaw in that the tab that moves Red Riding Hood's head in pop-up five is missing (see photo where she's standing at the foot of the bed with flowers--the tab is there that supports the head but the piece similar to the moveable tab for the wolf is missing for Red); o/w still a VG clean copy of this fairly scarce title. $135.00

Two One-Pop-up Wonders by Voitech Kubasta!

11) How Columbus Discovered America. Printed in Czechoslovakia and published in England by Bancroft and Co., Lon.(1960). 1st Eng. Ed. Closed dimensions are about 9 x 13". A true engineering feat by the highly imaginative Kubasta. Firstly, the front cover shows a ship's wheel and it actually turns to show Columbus' voyage across the Atlantic and back (a similar design on the back cover shows the entire map at once). Open the cover and on the left is a full-page illustration of the 3 ships being tossed about on a stormy sea. Next follows 8 pages of text, then follows a heavy card page with 5 scenes from Columbus' life. Turn this page outward and up pops the most amazing scene of the "Santa Maria", the "Pinta" and the "Nina" sitting peacefully in harbour in the New Land. The "Santa Maria" has real string rigging. Heavy card pictorial wraps with Blue cloth spine. Minor edgewear; the waves at front of pop-up are a little lazy to pop-up; the rivet securing the ship's wheel has left an indentation in the first page of text; o/w a VG+ wonderful copy. $290.00 12) The Tournament. Printed in Czechoslovakia and published in England by Bancroft and Co., Lon. (1961). 1st English Edition. Closed dimensions are about 9 x 13" tall. Another technical accomplishment by Kubasta. The 8 pages of text tell a story of the Black Knight taking on allcomers in a jousting tournament in front of the King and Queen at Noster Castle. The 2-page pop-up scene allows you to move the two mounted knights toward each other in a battle of strength and agility. Glossy heavy card covers with Red cloth spine. The same illustration on the front cover is repeated on the rear. Slight chipping of edges; a previous owner's sticker on bottom of front cover at spine; one of the two supports for the tent with the King and Queen has broken (this could be repaired but as it is, it does not affect the pop-up action); where the box for the horse on the right meets the ground, it was broken away at some point and has been glued in place and is holding fine; o/w a VG example of this impressive design. $275.00

Two Tip and Top Titles by Voitech Kubasta!

13) Tip + Top Build a Motorcar. Printed in Czechoslovakia and published in London by Bancroft & Co. (1962). 1st English Edition. Abt. 10 x 10", 12 pp. Designed and illustrated by the incredible Voitech Kubasta. Pictorial card wraps with decorative Blue cloth spine. Some minor chipping of edges; two address stickers from previous owner on spine; only two condition problems: something's bent on the undercarriage of Top's car (on right) in the first pop-up so he doesn't sit as upright as he should; in the same pop-up (not visible in the photo), one wing of the airplane has been squashed at one point but is now repaired; everything else pops up fine and moves as it should in all 6 wonderful scenes. A Very Good or better copy of a fragile collectible and one of Kubasta's best. $395.00 14) Tip + Top at the Zoo. Printed in Czechoslovakia and published in London by Bancroft & Co. (1961). 1st English Edition. Abt. 10 x 10", 12 pp. Designed and illustrated by the incredible V. Kubasta. Pictorial card wraps with decorative Yellow/Orange cloth spine. Some minor chipping of edges; only three condition problems: in pop-up 3, there is a crease in the camel's neck,(a common problem with this pop-up, and I've reinforced it at back); in the same pop-up, where Top is painting the cow, there is a little bit of paper torn from his vest; in pop-up 4, the alligator has hinged jaws and the lower jaw was torn away (now repaired with glue and holding fine--you can still raise the top jaw as intended); o/w all 6 pop-ups are working fine and looking great. Lots of movement with characters going up and down and back and forth. A VG or better copy of this fragile collectible. Simply a delight to behold! $385.00 15) Mary's Lamb, a two-page pop-up designed by Geraldine Clyne, famous for her pop-up series of the "Jolly Jump-Up" family. This pop-up published in New York by J. G. Publishing Co. No date (circa 1950). Closed measurements abt. 8 x 8-1/2". The same colourful illustration of Mary and her lamb going to the little one-room schoolhouse is on both front and back covers. Pull the front cover toward you to reveal the classroom scene with the teacher, five students and Mary's lamb, and the words to the Mary's Lamb poem. A delicate paper pop-up that I'm sure wasn't expected to survive this long. The girl in the Blue dress to the right and the Black- haired girl behind her are reluctant to stand when the pop-up is opened, but when they are positioned they maintain their posture (they are not damaged but the table between them just has a bend in the wrong direction); otherwise the only other flaw is the fact that the printing register is slightly off, giving a little blurriness to the covers and giving a second set of eyes to some of the characters. A charming reminder of simpler schooldays. $40.00
Lift-the-Flap Book (16) 16) "The Aircraft Lift-the-Flap Book" by Gerard Browne. Orchard Books, Lon. 1992. 1st Ed.
