Some minor shelfwear, but tight, and everything still functions superbly!

Hans en Grietje (Hansel and Gretel in Dutch)

By: Kubasta, V. (illustrator)

Price: $75.00

Publisher: Prague, Artia: 1969

Seller ID: 001293

Binding: Decorated cloth

Condition: Very Good

Pop-up book with eight pop-ups in all, plus a pull or movable tab on the front cover. Oblong, 10 by 8 inches, or 26 by 21 cm. Kubasta illustrated pop-ups capture the charm and spirit of the classic fairy tale. Kubasta also pulled off a stylish mid-twentieth century look, streamlined and all splashy colored, while honoring more traditional aspects of fairy tale renderings, a feat that many of his contemporaries failed to achieve. Thus this appealed to children, who are notoriously conservative in their literary and artistic tastes, as well as the grown children who presented the book to the...

Seller ID: 001902

The fun pop-up is in perfect order, with no losses! The brash color and broad draftsmanship evokes the decoration of a tot's bedroom.

The Pop-Up Pinocchio being the Life and Adventures of a Wooden Puppet who finally became a real Boy

By: Lentz, Harold; [Collodi, Carlo]

Price: $400.00

Publisher: New York, Blue Ribbon Books: 1932

Seller ID: 001294

Binding: Decorated Cloth

Condition: Very Good

96 pp, with 4 elaborate pop-ups. (Pages are 9 by 7 inches.) Bright color illustrated boards, well protected by the DJ, which is the same design. Bright color illustrated endpapers. Of particular novelty is the first pop-up which shows Pinocchio reading a book with pages that open. Some tiny spotted foxing on preliminaries and a few leaves elsewhere have these speck-sized spots but overall text and plates very clean. One pop-up has minor surface paper rawness in corner, not affecting pictorial. One pop-up had small tear now repaired. Evidence of clumsy repair to spine using glue in nar...

By: Roland Pym, illustrator

Price: $60.00

Publisher: Boston, Houghton Mifflin Company. Brett Lithographing Co. Folding Books Ltd.: 1950

Seller ID: 002126

Charming, even magical, mid-century pop-up in the round, with six scenes captured in three dimensions behind the wings of a baroque-styled stage. Spine is cocked, and there is rubbing along joints. Some edgewear and light scuffing and wear to boards. Minor soiling as well to frames or wings of interior scenes. The six interior scenes are, though, in great shape overall.

By: Wehr

Price: $100.00

Publisher: New York, Grosset & Dunlap, Inc.: 1942

Seller ID: 001314

Binding: Decorated cloth, with spiral

Condition: Near Fine

18 pp., with nifty movable pieces with four pages featuring nifty movable tabs with several actions flowing from each shift of the tab. Generally clean and complete, with the single caveat that maiden in "Sing a Song of Sixpence" sequence does not move as presumably should and upper body is fixed to where body would have pivoted. Still three actions in this panel intact. The tabs have some wear but are all more than serviceable.
