Great exhibit on Pop-up Books at RIT. I have a new appreciation for the labor it takes to construct each book. A video detailed how pieces are die-cut and then hand assembled. Some are so intricate. The hands on exhibit featured everything from rough sketches to dummy, to press sheets. Large displays featured working mechanisms. 
The girls enjoyed the show as much as myself and we stayed for a couple of hours and thumbed through many books they had available. I think my favorite was Blue 2 by David A. Carter.
One Red Dot was the first of these "Art" Pop-ups and 600 Black Dots was just published. All three are amazing works of art, it's mechanics delicate and beautiful, it's design graphic and bold; much like the sweet and salty melody of a chocolate covered pretzel. I know what three books will be on my holiday wish list.
