Editorial Reviews

Review
Praise for Esther K. Smith:

“Esther K. Smith is the Betty Crocker of bookmaking—and it’s a calorie-free hobby! Yay!”
—Simon Doonan, Creative Director, Barneys New York

“This ingenious, beautifully-designed book brings the miracle of paper structures to readers of all ages. Esther Smith brings her expertise as a book maker and paper folder extraordinaire to this delightful volume that is packed with projects and ideas.”
—Ellen Lupton, author of D.I.Y.: Design It Yourself and D.I.Y. Kids

“Making paper spectacles is one of the great tactile joys, and this stunning book brings that pleasure spectacularly to life.”
—Steven Heller, co-chair of the Designer As Author MFA Program, School of Visual Arts

Product Description
Everyone loves a good book, but what’s better than one you’ve made by hand? And not just any straightforward book, but simple pop-up books, flip books, magic pamphlets, pop-up maps, and accordions! Esther K. Smith, author of How to Make Books, unlocks the secrets of making tricky book forms even if you’ve never worked with paper before.

While some of these 25 projects can be made by kids with a little help from mom or dad, all are designed with the adult in mind—the adult who’s a kid at heart! With step-by-step directions and charming illustrations, a few carefully placed cuts and an array of folds and twists almost magically become a colorful, multidimensional book.

5.0 out of 5 stars instant bookmaking fun!, December 28, 2008
By Silligirl (San Leandro, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Once I brought this book home, I immediately started folding and cutting various pieces of paper and had a blast. I have many other bookbinding books, but this one brings a sense of joy and whimsy not found in the others. This is a useful book for kids and book artists alike!
