Pop-up Books , Pop-up books have delighted us for a very long time.

 

   Although largely associated with children’s books these days, moveable parts in books have a long and surprisingly academic history. Some of the earliest examples date back to the 13th century and were often found in books used for scholarly or scientific purposes; for example, a revolving disc set into a page that revealed new information as it was turned.

 

   By the 18th century paper engineering had advanced enough that 3D scenes could now be created inside a normal book, creating the pop-up book as we know it.

   

   “They delighted the children of the time and will provoke memories in many adults.” says Andrew Martin, the curator of Modern Scottish Collections at the National Library of Scotland..
