	7	Baum, Frank L. / Sabuda, Robert The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - a commemorative pop-up New York Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing 2000 Hardcover Very Good + Robert Sabuda Fabulous pop-up book of a children's classic that was published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the publication of the original book. Contains 7 quite complex pop-ups that have movable elements and exhibit a good variety of techniques. The story [abridged] is presented in a series of pockets placed around the main pop-ups and many of these pockets also contain smaller pop-ups - it really is quite an intricate book. I particularly like the tornado that rises out of the page spinning and the green tinted glasses to wear when looking at the Emerald City. Sabuda is one of the best known contemporary paper engineers and his pop-up books are very colllectible. This particular book was awarded the Meggendorfer Prize in 2002 - awarded every second year to the most outstanding pop-up / movable book. Very good condition - all pop-up elements are complete, working and there are no mis-folds. Price: 30.00 GBP
