These are four of my books and they are currently out of print. There is good news! Dover Publishing will be releasing How to Make Pop-Ups in the fall of 2005. Barbara Reid, the illustrator and I are thrilled to see that this book will be available again. Also, How to Make Super Pop-ups is available in Japan in the Japanese language. See information below on the publisher. On this page you will also find a way to give me feedback.
