Description
BLADs (book layout and design) are made to promote the sale of pop-up books to publishers and stores. It is a single spread, including the pop-ups and artwork, as it will appear in the final copy. Sabuda and Reinhart were a dynamic duo of paper engineering, producing several movable books printed in the hundreds of thousands. They continue to work individually today. Sabuda was the first to use photo corners to hold gatefolds (i.e., flaps with pop-ups or text underneath) to the page in his Wizard of Oz (Little Simon, Simon & Schuster, 2000). I like to think that when I challenged Sabuda in 1993 to expand the text in pop-up books, and he said it couldn’t be done, he then came up with the solution shown here, flaps held down with photo corners.
