Hello and welcome to www.popupbooks.info

This site has been created to give you an insight to the wonderful world of pop-up and movable books.

As the site develops you will be able to expand your knowledge of an art form that has evolved over six hundred years.

I will be giving you the details of other interesting sites to visit and societies that specialise in this fascinating genre, along with all the news about new books that are on release or becoming available soon.

People often ask me how, and why, I started collecting pop-up books? I have tried to answer these questions with a brief history of my experience in collecting pop-ups.

With the kind permission of Mr. Michael Dawson, I have printed his “History of pop-up and movable books” which he wrote for the “Book Collectors Magazine” back in 1995.

I hope that you enjoy this site and will return to see how it grows in the months to come.

Regards,

Clive Sayer
