calling this sophisticated piece of engineering a "pop-up book" is like calling the Great Wall of China a partition. Reinhart doesn't fill pages from left to right like a normal author. He fills them upward and outward in three-dimensional space. He engineers enormous, elaborate tagboard sculptures with hundreds of parts that precisely interact as they rise from the book…Some of the artwork and engineering are so detailed, you can't imagine how they were created.
