Product Description
"Easily the most innovative alpabet book of the year, if not the decade... Beyond clever."—The Washington Post Prepare to be amazed. From the lenticular cover that changes with the angle of your hands all the way to the Z, ABC3D 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.

 TRUE pop art November 30, 2008
I previewed this lovely pop-up book at my 2-4 year olds storyhour, and one of the moms remarked, "Oooh, yes, but I think it's for adults." I don't have room for computers in my children's library -- and I think their use is usually abused anyway -- so I make a lot of pop up books available. I love the sight of children and their parents poring in fascination over the pages of a book. ABC3D has so much to offer. I love the way Bataille has conjured the shape of each letter, the way O and P become Q and R with the addition of a single stroke, etc. It's the kind of "Isn't the world an interesting place" that art has to offer.
AMAZING!! November 30, 2008
Just the thought and design behind this book is mindboggling! If you at all love the alphabet, you HAVE to have this book in your library. It will totally make you look at letters differently. A prized posession.
123's of the abc's November 29, 2008
As a [former] teacher I find myself still loving Alphabet books!...so I had to buy two of them! One for my grandson and one for my house!
 Innovative fun for typomaniacs November 25, 2008
The video preview of the book is very convincing and so is the price. That's why I ordered 2 of the books, just in case. I was then a bit disappointed by the sometimes grubby manufacture. One of both covers had a stripe of sticky glue on one side and the overall handling is not as easy as in the video. But well, pop-up books involve a complicated technique, especially if you want to include exciting effects. This is not a book you "read" everyday, so I think it simply is a nice collectors piece for everyone interested in playful graphical objects. Just get one (or two), the price is hilarious and the idea gorgeous!
ABC3D Review November 23, 2008
Fantastic Pop-Up book! Probably the most creative and imaginative pop-up book I've ever experienced, with a wide variety of "pop-ups" and other mechanics. A real treat to own...and share with others.
