B3109. ABC3D / Bataille
B3109. ABC3D by Marion Bataille. 2008. 36 pp. 6"x7.5" Hardcover $19.95
This clever and stylish alphabet book is a favorite. The fun starts with the holographic cover, which sequences through A-B-C.
Inside, the letters move, pop-up and transform. An E loses a part to become an F, a C transforms into a D with a flip. It’s a visual treat in a palette of red, white and black. Even Robert Sabuda was impressed: "One of the most delightful and innovative pop-up books I have ever seen."

Both the calligraphic text and the illuminations are shown. Don't let the reasonable price fool you; it's a treasure.
The manuscripts are from the Austrian National Library, and illuminated Bibles from every epoch of the Middle Ages are presented. Each manuscript is described in detail. Theological and historical contexts of the illuminations are discussed. The manuscripts are put in their place in the history of painting and art.
