Popigami: When Everyday Paper Pops!
by: Diaz, James

Hardcover. US, Piggy Toes Press, 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Clean, tight copy. In this technical tour de force, father and daughter combine origami-style figures and intricate pop-up effects into six spreads and a double gatefold of paper magic. The art evokes common materials, from a whirl of newspaper doves or passport pages made into sailboats to legal-pad-paper ducks swimming in a desktop "pond" of spilled coffee and, for a spectacular finish, an array of Chinese take-out menus and cartons falling prey to a hungry dragon's attack. The figures are mostly made of precut and glued pieces, but many of the beaks and noses, at least, are actually folded.

Quincy, the Hobby Photographer
by: Seibold, J. otto

Hardcover. NY, Harcourt, 1st, 2006, Hardcover, 64 pages. The dapper Quincy tells all in this lighthearted introduc-tion to the art of photographing dogs. He's generous with helpful hints, like "You can stop to smell the roses, but dogs don't hold their poses," and mindful of the smallest details, such as allowing the subject to sniff the camera. To top it off, Quincy shares his favorite snaps from the field in a quirky slide presentation. In his inimitable style, J. otto Seibold delivers a book over-flowing with heart, humor, and four-footed friends. Part silly picture book, part off-the-cuff instruction manual, Quincy, the Hobby Photographer is an ideal gift for dog lovers and for photo enthusiasts of all ages.

Hardcover. NY, Feiwel & Friends , 1st, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 36 pages. SIGNED BY EGAN & YACCARINO with a sketch of a cat. Author Egan establishes a frantic pace on page one and never lets up, creating that morning whirlwind of activity and emotion that seems stressful while it's happening but just a part of life minutes after it's over. Yaccarino's flat, patterned gouache illustrations give the characters hilarious poker faces and, when appropriate, wide-open shocked mouths--both of which are necessary on a weekday.
