This unique interactive book surpasses all language barriers, enriching the traditional pop-up book format with fresh, timeless imagery. Its emphasis on visual detail -- and its absence of text -- makes it a source of simple pleasure and serenity.With 10 pop-up stairs, each with its own uniquely complex construction, Stairs is more than entertainment -- it is an intricately designed, compelling object. In an age in which a premium is placed on information delivered quickly and electronically, this carefully crafted book, with its specially selected paper and high production values, represents a welcome antidote.
