Above is a video of Marion Bataille's book, 'ABC 3D'. This is an amazing book full of cleverly constructed pop-ups to aid learning.
I have spent my time researching into interesting books, books relating to poetry and books that experiment with text and image.
Whilst researching I came across an exhibition looking at the ways poetry and book arts interact and connect, their shared context, and their potentially conflicting functions; materials on display explore questions of verbal and visual metaphor making, emphasizing the roles of creative and collaborative processes involved in uniting image, verse, and print. there is more about the exhibition here: Metaphor Taking Shape
I have also been watching 'The Beauty of Books' a new BBC4 series, part of the 'Free Your Imagination' season about books. The program concentrates on the history of books, more information is on their blog here.
