Description

A charming lot of three vintage pop-up children's storybooks, offering interactive reading experiences. This collection includes J.M. Barrie's 'Peter Pan', Tony Wolf's 'Snow White', and 'Sinbad'. Each book features intricate paper engineering that brings classic tales to life with three-dimensional scenes. The 'Peter Pan' book was published by Hodder & Stoughton Ltd. in 1983. The 'Sinbad' book was published by Grandreams Limited in 1994. The specific book details in the dedicated fields below refer to the 'Snow White' volume, which was published by Tormont Publications Inc. in 1994 and is part of a series by Dami Editore, Italy.

Condition Report

General shelf wear, scuffs, creasing, and minor edge wear are present across all three books, consistent with their age and use. The 'Snow White' book shows some creasing on its pop-up elements, particularly in the forest scene. Its cover has scuffing and minor corner bumping. The 'Sinbad' book's cover has moderate wear, including scuffs and light creasing; some pop-up elements, such as the whale's fin, exhibit minor bends or slight tears. The 'Peter Pan' book's cover displays moderate wear, including surface scratches and edge fraying, and some internal pop-up mechanisms show creasing and minor bending, though they remain largely intact.
