A Panorama of San Francisco

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...
