By Dianne Weiss and Carol Cunningham; designed and illustrated by Dianne
Weiss
Mill Valley, CA; Sunflower Press, 2003. Hardcover. As new. First thus.
Unpaginated (8 pp); 2 3/4 inches square. A handmade, miniature accordion
pop-up book illustrated in color. Three layers of hand-cut copies of the
detailed illustrations are assembled into different scenes. Hand-bound in
blue fabric over boards with blue and white checked ties and a color plate
pasted on cover.
This book was originally produced by Dianne, of Figment Press, and Carol
in a 9 1/4” x 7” format to be awarded
as table prizes at the 1996 Miniature Book Society conclave in San Francisco.
It has now been
re-sized as a delightful miniature in this special limited edition and
is in the 2003 Miniature
Book Society showcase.
Limited to 16 numbered copies.
This color panoramic accordion miniature book presents four three-dimensional
views of San Francisco along with identifying captions for major landmarks.
You can almost hear the cable car on the front cover, and the checked-ribbon
secures the little city away until next time. A must-have book for anyone
who collects books about San Francisco, or who has left their heart there...
