20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: A Pop-Up Book
by: Sam Ita

Hardcover. NY, Sterling, 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, pictorial boards with a maroon cloth spine. 12 pages with 6 color pop=ups. Paper-crafting genius Sam Ita gives Jules Verne's engrossing undersea story a unique and amazing presentation. Ita literally takes graphic novels into another dimension with breathtaking designs that pop, flaps that lift, parts that move, and art that astonishes. There's nothing like it out on the market. You won't believe your eyes as you join Captain Nemo on an unforgettable adventure: submarines, sea monsters, and even the lost city of Atlantis (complete with ancient artifacts, temples, and columns) rise from the page as if emerging from the waves. Take a 3-D look inside Jules Verne's visionary submarine; sit with the sailors at their lobster-laden table; pull a lever to move the diving gauge; and face a giant squid as its slippery tentacles attack the Nautilus and her crew. Clean copy with no flaws to the paper cut-outs.
