Rating: Summary: Welcome to my world Review: A must for any neurotic out there.I can visit any of my worst fears at anytime.Oh joy-to have a coffee table book to enjoy, while breathing into a brown paper bag during panic attacks! A magnificant comfort.I've ordered more-but the pack rat in me-well they will be hard to give up. I say one in each room!(what about the phobia of thinking your sweaters on inside out)? hope there are more to come. Thank you
Rating: Summary: Creativity beyond the written words Review: I love so much of the physical being of this book! The details are apparant from the beginning; the cover screams of classic like my mother's leather bound Reader's Digest books. As if you were turning the front cover of a medical book but no! Suddenly you are amidst the edge of a tall buidling peering down at tiny ant like spots clearly known as cars, way down below. Like the website, just seeing the craftmanship of the page, makes you hear the cars, feel the wind and wonder, how high up am I? I can't wait to see what Mr. Greenberg does next!
Rating: Summary: Flabbergassed! Review: I can't believe it. I finally found a book that I can proudly give to just about anyone. A book for all ages and all intellects; from rocket scientists to total veggies. What a relief---and just in time for the Kwanza-Rammadan-Xmas and Chanukkah seasons. Thanks, Gary.
Rating: Summary: Fabulously funny and ingenious book. Very creative! Review: I absolutely loved this book. I work in a psychiatric hospital and patients these phobias really enjoyed and saw the humor in this book. This book is ingenious and a real winner in my mind. This should be THE BOOK for the holiday giving and beyond!
Rating: Summary: Creativity at It's Best-A Must For gift giving Review: The Pop-Up Book of Phobias is an incredibly innovative concept that tells about ten very familiar adult phobias with realism and magical artistry and imagination. It is an art book to be displayed and is an instant conversation piece. It is beatifully constructed and an unusual and fabulous gift item.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic. Review: This book is so much fun. The text is hysterically real and a little creepy. The art is truly amazing. The spider, clowns, and snakes literally leap off the page at you, but the fear of heights page is my favorite. It is the perfect coffee table book and christmas gift.
Rating: Summary: A must have for Christmas! Review: I recently had the pleasure of getting a copy of this unique book and each one of the phobias in this book are so cool. I put it out on my coffeetable and the reactions and animated discussions it led to have been remarkable! If you're looking for that special gift you don't know what to give someone, this book is it.
Rating: Summary: Confront your fears! Fool your Friends! Review: Wow. These are some of the most vivid and satisfying pop-ups I've ever seen. Through "paper engineering" these two geniuses have brought my childhood fears to life and have left me trembling naked in the corner of my bathroom. Thanks a lot! Seriously, though, this book is a scream, both literally and figuratively. It'll scare the living be-jimmies out of you. I can't think of a better gift for the neurotic in your family. And if your family doesn't have at least one, then your last name is Stepford. Love the book.
Rating: Summary: Perfect ice-breaker for the dreaded holiday family reunion Review: The Pop-Up Book of Phobias is pure enjoyment. It is the perfect gift for someone who has everything. If you are dreading family reunions for the holidays and need some common ground bring this book for enjoyment of all ages. I was impressed not only by the imagination and complexity of the pop-ups but of the intelligent text which accompanies them.
Rating: Summary: A New Level for the Pop Up Genre Review: Most of the pop up books that I have read have been amusing books aimed at the children's market. This, however, is definitely not a book for the younger set, although they would enjoy the amazing pop ups. Your worst nightmares come leaping off every page in an artistic display the likes of which I have never seen. Congratulations to everyone involved in the production of this gem,which should now serve as the benchmark against which all other pop up books will be measured.
