Thank you Marie Yamahata 山端 マリー for this very clever and thoughtful card. I first met Marie in 2008 at a book signing in Tokyo and now she has created her first pop-up and movable book to be published in Japan in 2026 by Dainippon Kaiga. I helped with the illustrations. Congratulations, Marie!

Op Pop/Pop Op/Illusions hot off the press for Fall 2026. I've been making pop-up books for almost 40years and it's still a thrill to open a box of books fresh of the assembly line. Thank you Prestel (German and English), Gallimard Jeunesse, Combel, Panini, and Dainippon Kaiga.

Which cover do you prefer? I like them all.
