New York: Henry Holt & Company, Incorporated, 1994 From School Library Journal Pop-ups are three-dimensional cut-and-folded paper constructions that are widely used for children's books and greeting cards. They have a magical appeal as they mysteriously fold and unfold. Expanding on pop-up material covered in his earlier The Encyclopedia of Origami & Papercraft (LJ 3/1/92), Jackson offers an instructional guide leading the craftsperson through an introductory section of basics to sections covering techniques and original design. The step-by-step projects are exercises in technique only, with complex constructions shown as examples. Like the author's previous books, this one is notable for its clear instructions and bright, colorful illustrations. For users of all ages; highly recommended for public libraries. Constance Ashmore Fairchild, Univ. of Illinois Lib., Urbana-Champaign Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Add to the list of occupational titles a new one, that of paper engineer. The forms and folds, scores and creases, that Jackson transforms into striking shapes and designs truly deserve acknowledgment. What is also unusual about his instructions is his patient explanation, taking up more than half the book with all the techniques possible with either one or multiple sheets of paper. Although the process appears complicated, each how-to is accompanied by step-by-step color photographs, building on the previous lesson. As for actual projects? He selects three formsa single heart, a double heart, and a heart with an arrowand demonstrates 7 to 16 different methods to fashion pop-ups.

The boxes Lydgate details are not a bunch of boards slapped together, but painstakingly handcrafted works that the impatient woodworker cannot make. Further, these particular boxes call for such exotic woods as rosewood, purpleheart, satinwood, and Hawaiian koa. The good news is that not a lot of board feet are needed for any project and that the average woodworker will have the tools to make every project in the book. The bad news is that the woods called for probably won't be at the local lumberyard and that you may feel politically incorrect using wood from a shrinking tropical rain forest. Materials obtained, you'll have to take your time on account of instructions that are sparse and even cryptic; although there aren't many pieces involved in any project, carefully planned construction is essential. <P><B> Product Description: Exquisite inlaid covers, gracefully simple lines and soft curves, glorious woods, intriguing lids, and intricate compartments are the hallmarks of the work of some of the world's best box-making artists.
