Pop-up books aren’t just for kids. SUPERSWEET found a pornographic pop-up book that literally, well, pops up in your face. Surprised? We were. Encouraged by this dynamite find, we wondered what other treasures the ‘literary moveable feast’ would throw up for the eyes….
Pop Up Porn
Warning. This pop-up book comes with an X rated certificate. Publishing Hub Sometime Books gives the book world some seriously stylish lip-service with this handmade edition cut from white and pink cardstock. There’s only 6 pages, but trust us, they’re 6 riveting ones. Sadly, the 25 limited edition brainchild of Michele Chun & Miya Saito has already sold out, so finding your left hand on this little baby will be near on impossible. Time for an origami class, perhaps? Meantime, enjoy this sample page for size…
The Pop Up Book of Sex
Begging for your attention is this artfully mechanised POP UP BOOK OF SEX. Not so stylish as Sometime Books’ version, but what it lacks in panache, it makes up for with graphic scenes of moveable intercourse, felatio and cunningulus. Fittingly, it comes in hard cover and is produced by Kees Moerbeek and Balvis Rubess, the puppeteers behind The Pop Up Book of Phobias and Nightmares. Buy it from Amazon, new and used. We suggest you buy ‘new’ though. Those used ones are probably a tad sticky…
Sex looks good on paper, but beware of paper cuts…
Neiman Marcus Pop Up Boutique
This one’s less sexual but just as noteworthy. American department store Neiman Marcus celebrated 100 years of fashion capitalism with an 3D retrospective. This enchanting pop-up books charts a shopaholic Princess on her first days in the department store til today. The most beautiful picture is the one above, detailing her portrait with the company’s trademark butterflies quivering above her pretty little head.
The Pop Up Book Of Phobias
Playing up to all your irregular fears, this nasty little treat comes packed with spiders, evil clowns, dirty toilets, airplane crashes and vertigo. Contains pages so brilliantly engineered that when you discover your particular “FUCK ME I’M SCARED” moment, you will indeed be quivering behind it’s covers. The vertigo one is particularly cool, with a pop-up skyscraper leaving you peering over the top, down at streets below. Watch the video below. You’ll see what we mean…
The Pop Up Karma Sutra: Six Paper-Engineered Variations
Just when we thought we’d ‘uncovered’ the pop-up porn scene to its fullest extent… we found this little beauty hidden between the www sheets. A 3D improvement on the original, this version combine the original’s ethnic beauty with skillfully produced pages. Conceived by Vatsyayana’s most intimate fans Richard Burton (no, not the deceased actor) and F. F Arbuthnot – making a fine threesome if ever we heard one.
The Pop Up Book of Nightmares
Author and creator Gary Greenman makes all our nightmares come true with this psychological mind-fuck. Not quite as macabre as his book of Phobias, but enjoyable enough. Open to the pages to find yourself falling through stairwells, stumbling into an abyss and having the floor give way. To be honest, it could be a hell of a lot scarier. Where’s the page where your mum walks in on you wanking?
