Bookano Stories, with Pictures that Spring up in Model Form - No. 1 [c. 1933]
Giraud, S. Louis (edited by) Strand Publications [c. 1933] Norfolk Street, London 1933 First Edition Hardcover Fair No Jacket Book 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall
No publication date but I believe this volume (the first of 17 Bookano Stories volumes) to be c. 1933. The last Bookano Stories pop-up volume was published in 1949. Hardback, with pictorial paper-covered boards. Spine is pictorial paper-covered grey cloth. The binding is rubbed and chipped at the edges, with some loss to the paper covering at the head and tail of the spine, exposing grey cloth binding underneath. Thick card pages - age-toned / tanned. No previous owner's names or inscriptions. Small piece of sellotape at the top edge of the front pastedown. The binding is firm but there are numerous superficial cracks throughout the textblock, at the spine. There are 6 pop-ups in this volume, No. 1. The last three are in poor condition - all have some bits missing. The first two are very good, complete, but with a couple of minor repairs and the centrefold pop-up is in excellent condition. Some light occasional foxing. Unpaginated. 105934

A Christmas Diorama
Brown, Graham (conceived and designed by) ; Wilgress, Paul (paper engineering) ; Gray, Carole (illustrated by) Brown Wells & Jacobs Limited 1992 1873829167 / 9781873829165 Hardcover Very Good Book 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall
Second hand but very good condition. The pop-ups are all in very good condition. When published, the book came with extra punch-out cardboard figures to use, freestanding, within the diorama - these are missing. However, the diorama itself is still in super condition and can give much enjoyment as a backdrop, as a nativity scene or play setting. There are four scenes, from the Annunciation in Mary's house in Nazareth, to the Adoration of the Magi in Bethlehem. Laminated pictorial boards. Size when closed 26cm x 21cm. 306437
