Sabuda and Reinhart Studios have created another spectacular pop-up book for George Lucas's epic STAR WARS movies! Bestselling pop-up artist and engineer Matthew Reinhart has designed a thirtieth anniversary commemorative edition that comes packed with a variety of novelty features -- pop-ups, working light sabers, pull tabs, and other interactive looks at the exciting and popular movies. This beautiful book will impress all fans of STAR WARS and gives a whole new perspective to the films.
MATTHEW REINHART is a renowned paper engineer and bona fide STARS WARS aficionado. He has worked with Robert Sabuda on many wonderful pop-up titles such as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, A B C Disney, Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Dinosaurs, and Movable Mother Goose. He also created Mommy? by Maurice Sendak, The Pop-Up Book of Nightmares, and The Pop-Up Book of Phobias. He lives in New York City.
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.

06/13/2009: This is just a cool book if you like Star Wars; there are pop-ups of the characters, stories behind them and the planets in the series, etc. It gives a history of the "world" that was created in the Star Wars series in a most interesting way!!!! And, to make it even cooler, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker are in the back with real light-up lightsabers!!! A must for all Star Wars fans!
