Richardson Collection 1 KATHLEEN & WILLIAM RICHARDSON COLLECTION

• Bill Richardson had an interest in art, architecture and history • Kathleen Richardson is a librarian with BCTCS • In the early 1990’s, they were at Joseph-Beth Booksellers, saw Art Pack and Bill requested a copy for Christmas.

Richardson Collection KATHLEEN & WILLIAM RICHARDSON COLLECTION

In 2006, they attended the bi-annual meeting of the Movable Book Society in Chicago. After attending presentations, meeting several of the authors and paper engineers, their enthusiasm for the genre increased.

Richardson Collection KATHLEEN & WILLIAM RICHARDSON COLLECTION

• The acquisition of Art Pack, led to purchasing others by the same publisher: Architecture Pack, Music Pack, etc. • However, since these were published every other year, they began acquiring other titles that were cool, unusual, interactive, or interesting. • They began collecting titles by specific paper engineers, like Robert Sabuda, David Carter, David Pelham, etc.

Richardson Collection TOY AND MOVABLE BOOKS

The term pop-up book is often applied to any three- dimensional or movable book, although the proper umbrella term is movable book, which covers pop-ups, transformations, tunnel books, volvelles, flaps, pull-tabs, pop- outs, pull-downs, and more, each of which performs in a different manner. Also included because they employ the same techniques, are three-dimensional greeting cards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_book

Richardson Collection HOW DOES A BOOK MOVE?

Richardson Collection PAPER ENGINEERING

Paper engineering is the cutting, gluing and folding of paper to create books and ephemera with pop- ups, pull-tabs, flaps and a variety of other moving parts.

Richardson Collection LC DEFINITION AND EXAMPLES

“These are books that contain text or illustrations that can be moved or manipulated, more than in the turning of an ordinary page. They are also called “action books or “special effects books.”
