ABC3D

Prepare to be amazed! From the lenticular cover that changes with the angle of your hands all the way to the Z, ABC3D ($13.57) by Marion Bataille is as much a work of art as it is a pop-up book. Each of the 26 three-dimensional letters move and change before your eyes. C turns into D with a snap. M stands at attention. X becomes Y with a flick of the wrist. And then there’s U…Boldly conceived and brilliantly executed with a striking black, red, and white palette, this is a book that readers and art lovers of all ages will treasure for years to come.
