Paul Johnson presents his new sculptural unique pop-up carousel books on themes including motorized mobile homes, airplanes and steam locomotives with tall chimneys. There are no folds – all the sections are joined with hinges. The hundreds of movable parts can be taken to pieces, changed, and put back together again.
