A History of Pop-up and Movable Books: 700 Years of Paper Engineering

See this interesting 52min.(!)lecture of Ellen G.K.Rubin,the 'Pop-up Lady' and owner of a giant collection of those books, in the course of the exhibition "fold,pull,pop and turn" at the Smithonian Libraries.

Ellen is so passionately marvelous an educator! Why can't these sorts of courses be taught in the schools!? I suppose the web is the perfect new school.

A brilliantly watchable presentation - very clearly and passionately delivered by the pop-up lady!
