I've always been fascinated by the seemingly impossible images that Escher created in 2-D, and I was intrigued to see how they would translate to a 3-D presentation.
I was not disappointed, the incredibly inventive paper engineering of Courtney Watson McCarthy really does bring Escher's art to life, my particular favourite in this collection being Bond of Union. The quality of both the paper engineering and the images themselves are first rate and I would recommend this book to Escher fans and pop-up collectors alike.

Being familiar with Escher's work, I was interested to see how it could be turned into a pop-up book. In fact the book is very ingenious,and the added three-dimensional effects do add to the original. There are not many pop-ups, but they are well made and work well
