Bataille’s pop-up alphabet is not only ingeniously clever in terms of its paper engineering, it also manages to be a stunningly elegant little object in its own right, a quality that tends to elude most pop-up books. The letterforms are represented in an inventive variety of ways, with frequent surprises and clever little changes of direction in terms of concept and form. Just when you think a page has served its purpose, another letter will emerge in an unexpected manner. This is a book for all ages – as at home on the office desk or coffee table as on the bookcases of small people.
