1980s pop-up book with unique folds
- The pop-up book discussed is from the early 1980s, part of the second wave of pop-up books, featuring right angle v-folds and acute angle v-folds creating dimensional effects. The mechanisms involve counter folds and slots, with examples like tree tops created from tiny v-folds and buildings as parallelograms, all detailed in the book "Pop-Up Design and Paper Mechanics."
