Scanimated Peanuts

Coming in September is Peanuts: a Scanimation Book.

Okay, so what’s “scanimation”? Actually, it’s pretty cool. These books are slightly mechanical (as, say, a pop-up book is). When you turn a page, a clear sheet with bars printed on it is pulled across a graphic below it, causing some animation. Oh, it’s hard to describe, but it is nifty. However, like with a pop-up book, these pages are thick and you only get a handful of these images in a book. They’ve released a bunch a number of these, including licensed Star Wars and Wizard Of Oz books.

I’ve preordered mine already.
