Description
Movable devices in books, sometimes referred to as novelties, are not new. From anatomical lift flap books, to astrolabes and other volvelles in the early modern science texts, from carousel and pop-up children's books to contemporary artists books - these devices allow for the ultimate means of emphasis within the pages of a book.
A presentation by the Oxford Bibliographical Society and the Centre for the Study of the Book.
