Escher Pops Up
Anon. The Pop-Up Book of M. C. Escher (1991). Eight of Escher’s more familiar drawings converted into pop-ups, with varying success. A curio, worth a look or two, and no doubt appealing to serious Escher fans. Brief comments about each image help the casual reader make sense of Escher’s work. I don’t know why I bought it, and can’t recall when. Probably at a yard sale. Not a keeper. **
