|
The delightful Amber Past wowed the crowd with her incredible selection of beautifully hand made artists books.
|
Howard Rootenberg shared his amazing collection (as well as UCLA's) of historical anatomical flap books. The sample shown is from the mid 1500's!

 |
| Charlotte Johnson begged us not "to cry for Argentina," as she helped the audience weave their way through the sometimes bewildering world of pop-ups on-line!
|
Matthew Reinhart and Adie Pena celebrate Adie's fascinating presentation on the making of the Movable Book Society's 10th Anniversary book "Celebration."
|
Ann Montanaro showed us a side of pop-up maker Raphael Tuck (and his industrious sons) never seen before!
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Lunch outside was perfect for San Diego's warm and sunny weather (not that we got a lot of time to enjoy it with such a full program!).
|
And even food couldn't stop everyone from thinking about pop-ups and movable books!
|
All the books eligible for the Meggendorfer Prize were presented for the attendees to vote on (to find out who won go to What's New).
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Master movable maker Julian Wehr's son Paul arrived and gave one of the most heart felt talks about his father (we'll never look at a Wehr movable the same way again!).
|
The team who created "Celebration" (Matthew Reinhart, Andy Baron, Kyle Olmon, Robert Sabuda, Ellen Rubin, Ann Montanaro and Adie Pena) photographed together for the first time.
|
Of course there were plenty of books available due to a local bookseller so we had our own MBS book signing!
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Renowned artist's bookmaker Emily Martin helped the crowd get hands-on with "Fun with Flexagons (we still can't believe how cool ours came out!)."
|
Linda Costello pays close attention during the workshop. One needs to in a room full of rabid pop-up book lovers!
|
The venerable Ed Hutchins (robertsabuda.com's Mr. September) takes on the role of Emily Martin's able assistant. He sure knows how to "crack that whip!"
|
|
 |
 |
| Legendary pop-up creator gave a wonderfully humorous speech at the final evening's banquet and shared with us his memories (the good, the bad and the ugly) of being a part of Intervisual Books history.
|
Ann Montanaro is shocked and delighted to receive a special award from all her MBS friends for the past 10 years of her incredible service to a terrific organization!
We see everybody in two more years (Chicago, anyone?)!
